Chinese Myths
Angebote / Angebote:
Chinese myths were primarily a diffuse and fragmentary oral tradition, eventually preserved in writing only in a piecemeal fashion. Many classical texts are unavailable in translation, and the stories have been unknown to Western readers. Anne Birrell here introduces the general reader to a selection of narratives organized by themes and motifs that help set Chinese myths in the context of world mythology. The contents include: o Origin and creation myths o Myths of the flood o The divine cosmos o Gender in myth o Metamorphoses o Mythic heroes and heroines o Fabled plants and animals o Major sources of myth
