No Customer Reviews
Traces of a Daoist Immortal is a Daoist-infused tour de force on the Daoist mountain hermit Ch n Tu n 陳摶 (Xīy 希夷 Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989) and his fellow "hidden immortals."
Breaking various academic taboos, including hyper-historicism, social constructivism, and conformist mentalities, here Komjathy, in an aspirational gesture towards unbridled inquiry, offers annotated translations and scholarly introductions to ten major works associated with the Daoist immortal.
The book also contains a cutting-edge, mythopoetic introduction that addresses the life and legend of Ch n Tu n, his connection to the Western Marchmount of Hu shān 華山 (Mount Hua; Hu yīn, Shǎnxī), Daoist views about sleeping, dreaming, waking, as well as Daoist time-being.
