A Thousand Peaks: Poems from China
1. Culture or group portrayed: Asians.
2. Book information: Liu, S. and Protopopescu, O. (2002). A Thousand Peaks: poems from China. Berkeley, California: Pacific View Press.
3. Summary: This is a book of classical Chinese poetry, spanning several dynasties. The book shows the original Chinese, the literal translation, and then an English interpretation, as well as background or further explanation regarding the poet or the poem. There are some pen-and-ink drawings, as well as a few color illustrations (I'm not sure what they're composed of, as I'm not too versed in art) of China.
4. Cultural/Multicultural evaluation: A Thousand Peaks showcases classical Chinese poetry. It gives a great deal of background for a slim book, and as stated earlier, gives the original Chinese characters and how they would be literally translated before giving an English context. The afterword discusses a little of the process of Chinese-to-English translation, while keeping the meaning or spirit of the poem intact. I think this is an important resource for anyone wanting to learn about Chinese poetry.
5. Conclusion/verdict: Recommended for middle school, as some of the concepts might be difficult for younger readers.
