Basho: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Basho, Paperback/Basho

Descriere & specificații

His poetry explores the full range of social experience in Edo Japan as he moved among friends and followers high and low, the elite and the demi-monde, the less fortunate: poor farmers, abandoned children, disregarded elders. Bash The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Bash reveals how this work speaks to our concerns today as much as it captures a Japan emerging from the Middle Ages. For dedicated scholars and those coming upon Bash for the first time, Fitzsimons' elegant translation--with an insightful introduction and helpful notes--allo
