The Death of Li Bo - Paperback

by D. R. Howland (Author)

When the An Lushan rebellion erupted in 755, provoking chaos in northeast China, celebrated poet Li Bo fled Loyang for the safety of the south. As Li wandered, desperate for news of his missing wife and child, he entangled himself in yet another insurrection and was banished to distant Yelang. Rich in historical detail of the period, The Death of Li Boconstructs Li Bo's obscure, final years, which were enlightened by two principles: the unity of all things in the Great Spontaneity of the Dao, and the hope of salvation in Amida Buddha's Pure Land.
