Críticas:

"Like a crash-course in crisis management, these parable-style accounts offer insight into human relationships...test your wit in these tales of Imperial China." Leading Edge Review "These erudite tales are easy to read and beautifully succinct. They instruct, entertain, and offer a window on a culture about which most of us know very little. This book would be a most excellent addition to any section on folklore or Chinese culture, or for anyone who simply likes a good story." New Age Retailer

Reseña del editor:

Wisdom's Way is a collection of true stories from ancient China. Filled with palace intrigue, ambitious warlords, greedy swindlers, and justice-seeking wise men, each story evokes the legendary wisdom of the Far East. These delightful tales offer both historical lessons and insight into human relationships, from the grand maneuvering of emperors to a pair of tradesmen arguing over an old coat. Test your wit in a hundred and one tales from Imperial China, and see if you can keep your head! Popular in China, these stories have been translated and enhanced by Walton Lee.
