През 1972 г. едно откритие на китайските археолози взривява научния свят - при разкопки в гробница от династия Хан е открит трактатът на Сун Бин "Изкуството на войната", смятан за изгубен още в древността.

Второ разширено издание. ... Избрано. Проза и стих."...книгата е нещо повече от словесна структура или поредица от словесни структури; тя е и диалогът, който завързва със своя читател, и интонацията, която придава на гласа му, и изменчивите и трайни образи, които оставя в паметта му. Този диалог е безкраен...""Един човек си поставя задачата да нарисува света. С течение на времето изпълва пространството с образи на земи, царства, планини, заливи, кораби, острови, риби, жилища, сечива, звезди, коне и хора. Малко преди смъртта си открива, че този търпелив лабиринт от линии чертае образа на лицето му." ... |
