An elegantly packaged new edition of a classic Chinese folk tale collection that responds to the contemporary fascination with the ancient culture of the Far East.
This elegantly presented edition of Richard Wilhelm & Frederick H. Martens' classic collection of 73 Chinese fairy tales has been re-edited by a leading Chinese historian to heighten its appeal to the modern Western reader. As China continues to develop as an economic and political superpower, there has been a growing interest in its history and literature. China has a rich oral tradition and these stories, passed down through hundreds of years, not only enthrall and delight, but also cast light on the country's ancient culture.
Chinese folklore is as colourful and captivating as the Arabian Nights or the work of the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen, yet the stories themselves remain largely undiscovered in the West. Written with economy and wit, the short, one- or two-page tales exhibit those distinct aspects of the Chinese character and approach to life which derive from the values of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. These include moderation, the value of promises, respect for one's elders, justice and injustice, and the power of wisdom.
The stories are arranged thematically under headings such as nursery fairy tales, nature and animal tales, and myths. Some, such as the legend of the ghostly general and haunted battlefield, engage with the supernatural, while others are dramatic tales featuring flying ogres and cunning demons. Yet others introduce magical talking animals, dragons, endangered princesses, clever shepherd boys and divine figures, including the shape-shifting Yang Oerlang, Guan Yu, the god of war, and the Silkworm Goddess who has a horse's head.
Intriguing titles such as Why Dog and Cat Are Enemies, The Dragon Princess, The Maiden Who Was Stolen Away and The Bird with Nine Heads sit next to tales familiar to all Chinese children, including The Lady of the Moon and The Herd Boy and the Weaving Maiden.

China Martens started her pioneering mamazine The Future Generation in 1990. She was a young anarchist punk rock mother who didn't feel that the mamas in her community had enough support, so she began publishing articles on radical parenting in an age before the internet.
The anthology of her zine, The Future Generation: The Zine-Book for Subculture Parents, Kids, Friends & Others, was first printed in 2007 and has been out of print for many years. Covering sixteen years, it uses individual issues as chapters, focusing on personal writing, and retaining the character of a zine that changed over the years--from her daughter's birth to teenagehood and beyond.
We are proud to present a tenth-anniversary edition including a new afterword by China's grown daughter, Clover. The Future Generation remains a timeless resource for parents, caregivers, and those who care about them. Though first published in the 1990s, many of the essays and observations--about parenting, children, and surviving in a hostile political climate--still ring true today. The next four years are going to be especially demanding for those trying to balance parenting, politics, and survival. We're going to need the voices and experiences in The Future Generation now more than ever.

Описание: Dr. Milne J. Ongley, M.D., has practiced medicine on many continents and has cured several hundred thousands of patients in his sixty-five years of practice. He invented his own solution that is injected directly into the joints, and his orthopedic reputation is like many before their time. The greats like Tesla, Freud, Rembrandt, and Einstein also suffered being different and misunderstood-they were a threat to the established point of view at the time.I first met Dr. Ongley at his office in Newport Beach, California, with its signed pictures on the walls of every famous athlete and Olympic champion at the time. There was an energy in the waiting room that felt soothing and loving. But the people sitting there were in pain-many in very serious pain. I noticed that, after their treatment and spending time with Dr. Ongley, every patient had a smile on his or her face when coming back through the waiting room to leave. I had never seen such a transformation. But Dr. Ongley isn't always esteemed by his colleagues. He was-and is-a threat to the medical community, which does not want cures. There's no money in cures. And thus, Dr. Ongley became a target. Dr. Ongley may push his positive thoughts too far, but the facts are brilliant. In the early 1980s, I had four lower discs bone on bone and had problems turning over in bed and was in constant pain. I was referred to him by a friend and had one set of injections. He told me to do these very simple exercises which took no more than ten minutes, and by the third month I was already feeling great. I had an x-ray six months after treatment and the discs had grown back to their normal selves-my problem was solved. Over the years of falling and breaking parts of my skeleton, he was my doctor and became a very close and dear friend. Without him I would be in a wheelchair by now because opting for invasive surgery would never be my first choice.I have spent much time with him over the last thirty-three years and know he is very loving but stands only in truth and integrity and what is best for the patient. He is both gentle and firm. I learned the magic of the body and how unaware we each are related to pain, be it the real cause, the location, and the message it holds for the patient. All of this led to us sitting down having a rather long chat, which led to the information in this book.I know this will be a refreshing wake-up call for many to take responsibility for their own health without putting the medical community on a pedestal. Thoughts, emotions, and pain are the topics of focus in this book. Our multiple prescriptions give us a false sense of safety, but I consider those prescriptions a trap set by the medical community. We live in our self-created prison...but the door is not locked. Let's walk free to live our life.
