Лепестки лотоса. Шедевры китайской поэзии

The wisdom and poetic traditions of the Celestial Empire, with the depth of feelings, richness, and sophistication of the Russian language. Chinese poetry captivated our readers during the height of the "Golden Age" of Russian literature: the first translation of a Chinese poem into Russian was made by Afanasy Fet (his "Shadow" was published in 1856).
Collected under one cover are 200 poems by 75 Chinese poets from the 6th to the 13th centuries in brilliant translations by Vladimir Markov, Konstantin Balmont, Venedikt Mart, Nikolai Novich, Julian Shchutsky, Vasily Alexeev, and others, which will not only provide an opportunity to once again touch upon the classic Chinese poetry but also serve as the best way to unite two great cultures.
