"Although a goddess and a mortal can fall in love, it is best to remember that the "world of humans and gods could never exist together." The story of the beautiful goddess of the Luo River is one of love and loss, based on a poem written by Cao Zhi, a Chinese writer who lived "in the state of Wei during the three Kingdoms period (approximately 220-280 CE)." The translation and adaptation from the Chinese is generally fluid but it is the illustration and format that distinguish this large volume, enhancing the drama and scope of the story. Several stunning illustrations are presented on extended gatefolds that open up to almost mural size. They evoke the river, present a sensuous river goddess and the mortal with whom she falls in love (including their ultimate separation), and dramatically depicts other gods and goddesses and other symbolic creatures from Chinese lore. Individual deities and figures are pictured with a brief explanation as well as a note on the history of the story and its illustrations to conclude this unique book. VERDICT Though not an essential purchase for libraries, this is sure to intrigue readers and may encourage further examination of traditional Chinese art and literature." --Maria B. Salvadore, School Library Journal, "In this retelling of an ancient Chinese poem, a writer imagines the doomed love between the earthly and heavenly in this oversized picture book for older readers. Returning from a visit with the emperor, poet Cao Zhi passes by the River Luo. "As the ancient tale goes, underneath the river lives a beautiful goddess"--so, as a writer, Cao decides to put forth his own story of a different goddess of the majestic river. Cao's goddess is ethereal: "she dazzles like the sun rising in the morning...she's as luminous as the lotus that grows in the shallows." Love is instant between poet and goddess, but with love comes hesitation and worry. Ultimately, the goddess concludes that "the world of humans and gods could never exist together." Readers unfamiliar with the poem will likely find the level of narrative detail insufficient, and consequently the melancholy ebbs rather than flows forth. Ye's illustrations, however, are lush in detail and lovely in strangeness. The illustrator injects traditional elements of Chinese paintings with a modern playfulness and whimsy. Big-eyed fish, fantastical creatures, and odd flora and fauna fill the pages. Elements of the natural world adorn the Goddess of Luo to evoke the otherworldly. Instead of being enrobed by traditional Chinese clothing, a flowing cape ending in a fish tail drapes over her body. Strands of pearls surround her and come to life as fairies. Four multipage gatefolds stunningly capture both the movement in the illustrations and the scale of the tale. Lavish illustrations elevate this adaptation of a classic." -- Kirkus Reviews, A 2021 Outstanding International Trade Book "In this retelling of an ancient Chinese poem, a writer imagines the doomed love between the earthly and heavenly...Ye's illustrations, however, are lush in detail and lovely in strangeness....multipage gatefolds stunningly capture both the movement in the illustrations and the scale of the tale.

Synopsis
Brilliant illustrations and four stunning gatefold page spreads bring this beloved Chinese tale of a man's encounter with a water nymph to vibrant life The Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River is an ancient Chinese poem created by Cao Zhi, a writer living in the state of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (c. 220-280 CE). In his tale, Cao Zhi is returning from the capital to his own land when he stops at the Luo River for a rest, where he sees a vision of the goddess so powerful that he instantly falls in love with her. Cao sees a nymph of peerless beauty "as elegant as a startled swan and supple as a swimming dragon". Though he's swept away by her ethereal beauty, it's a love that isn't meant to be. In this tale, alas, there can be no marriage between the earthly and heavenly realms. In a masterpiece of illustration, the young artist Ye Luying renders this tale's lavish world by combining traditional Chinese painting styles with a contemporary graphic-novel sensibility. With its high production values and amazingly-detailed-multi-page foldout spreads, this is a special book that will entice art lovers of all ages. Yu Zhiying's adaptation and the accompanying explanatory notes will provide readers with a fresh view of ancient Chinese culture., The Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River is an ancient Chinese poem created by Cao Zhi, a writer living in the state of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period (c. 220-280 CE).

- h***2 (1186)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
- e***7 (884)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufMy complaint about large book sellers is they don’t securely package their books, and this was no exception. I sell books on eBay and when I do they are usually wrapped in bubble wrap and then with paper bags I obtain from stores and then I use good tape. I get lots of positive reviews for my secure wrapping. This book arrived in thin plastic with no padding. Yes, this was a good price, arrived quickly, and as listed . You get break on postage, use some of that savings for better packaging
