About the book: 2014 / In the first complete biography of Li Bo outside the Chinese-speaking world, the image of the greatest and most mysterious poet of China is outlined against the background of the events of his life and in the broad context of the era. The eternal conflict between creative personality and power shaped the tragedy of Li Bo's fate. His poems, sometimes serene and sometimes dramatic, are often likened to diary entries, which, in combination with legends and works of art by Chinese writers, makes it possible to recreate the living appearance of Li Bo, reconstructing a “holographic” picture of his life in events that are quite close to reality. The author of the book, a famous researcher of Chinese literature Sergei Toroptsev, not only carefully studied the circumstances of Li Bo's life, but also translated more than three hundred of his poems. An inspirational and instructive biography of the great poet will be read with interest by everyone interested in the history and culture of the East. sign of information products 16+
