Michael Sullivan. Designed for the general reader approaching Chinese landscape painting as a new experience, this beauti- fully illustrated volume is an introduction to the underlying philosophical ideas, the aims and achievements of the painters, and the main stages in the development of the art over nearly 2,000 years. The author takes as his theme the responsibility of the artist to both society and to his own version of nature. Treating this theme historically, he also relates landscape painting to its political and social setting and to the philosophical climate in which the painters worked. Illustrated with some 120 plates, twenty of them in full color. $18.50

Old Madam Yin A Memoir of Peking Life Ida Pruitt. By the author of the classic A Daughter of Han, this is an affectionate, revealing portrait of an aged, wealthy widow and her family in the Peking of the 1920's and early 1930's. Through the daily life and memories of Lao Tai-tai, it gives an intimate glimpse into a centuries-old way of life that was fast coming to an end. We explore the inner workings of an upper-class urban family: the relations between hus- bands and wives and between wives and concubines, the interactions among brothers, the role of women in such a family. We learn how houses, gardens, and courtyards are constructed according to precise rules. We are shown the enormous importance to the Chinese of protocol, etiquette, and reciprocal obligation. Above all, the memoir captures the essence of pre-war Chinese cultural and social values. About $10.00
