Su Dongpo: Chinese Genius

(3) 4-6 This handsome volume introduces Su Dongpo (1036–1101), an intriguing figure in Chinese history who will likely be unknown to many readers. Offering examples of his writing and calling his accomplishments "almost superhuman," Demi describes him as "a statesman, philosopher, poet, painter, engineer, architect, and humanitarian." The striking illustrations combine small, meticulous figures with spacious, misty backgrounds and touches of gold.
