Description
|
|
|
|
A prolific author of books that focus primarily on the life and customs of the people of the western Hunan Province, Shen Congwen (1902–1988) is considered one of China's leading regional writers of the 20th century, notable for his ability to describe beautiful and fulfilling styles of life in primitive rural surroundings. Zhuo Ya, also from Hunan, went on a 20-year photographic expedition inspired by his writings, capturing a way of life little changed in a thousand years. This book pairs her poetic images with excerpts from a range of Shen Congwen's early writings, resulting in an evocative tour of a remote and mysterious part of the world.
