Levi, Jean and Barbara Bray. DREAM OF CONFUCIUS.
Harcourt 1992 0151265704 / 9780151265701 First edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket
294 pp. Approx. 6 x 9in. 24 oz. A violent and passionate story of war-torn China in the third century B.C.People had had enough of the reign of metal, of imprisonment, deportations, labor camps, confessions obtained through torture, books banned and scholars persecuted, while Barbarian, Son of Heaven, feasted and watched his dancing girls. Nor did anyone dare tell Barbarian about the armies of brigands forming, the rebels on the march.And yet this had all been predicted in the I Ching, the Book of Changes; it was all there to read in the mystic hexagrams. And in that strange prophetic dream Confucius dreamed eight generations ago, after the sighting of the unicorn by the young woodcutter: the red crow, the jade sphere, and Orient Whet-Iron....Eight generations later, Whet-Iron, whose mother was impregnated by a dragon, rises from corrupt police chief to outlaw leader to general. His rival is brilliant and handsome General Plume, who defeats him in battle after battle. Alliances are made and broken, throats are slit, heads cut off, and relatives served as stew, but nothing will shake Whet-Iron's faith in the dream of Confucius.Jean Levi gives a fascinating account of two Great Men who lose both love and honor in their bitter, long struggle for power over a disintegrating empire.
Appears unread. Remainder mark. In new clear Mylar protector.
