The poems of two of Chinas most influential classical poets: Tu Fu, called Chinas Shakespeare (BBC), and Li Po, the subject of Ha Jins The Banished Immortal and Chinas most beloved poet (The New Yorker)A Penguin ClassicLi Po (AD 70162) and Tu Fu (AD 71270) were devoted friends who are traditionally considered to be among China's greatest poets. Li Po, a legendary carouser, was an itinerant poet whose writing, often dream poems or spiritjourneys, soars to sublime heights in its descriptions of natural scenes and powerful emotions. His sheer escapism and joy is balanced by Tu Fu, who expresses the Confucian virtues of humanity and humility in more autobiographical works that are imbued with great compassion and earthy reality, and shot through with humour. Together these two poets of the T'ang dynasty complement each other so well that they often came to be spoken of as one 'LiTu' who covers the whole spectrum of human life, experience and feeling.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the Englishspeaking world.
