Thomas J. Martin

One of the Best Sources of Chinese History in the English-Speaking World.

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is one of the great seminal works dealing with Chinese history and culture. It enables English-speaking scholars to have a rare, and in depth glimpse into primary source material from the Middle Kingdom. To anyone working with Asian history, this work is a requisite. Primary-source materials like these, presented in an anthology, allow students to get to know the major events of history first-hand. Much to students' surprise, the original texts are both interesting, and not that difficult to grasp. Dr. Thomas J. Martin, Asian Studies, SUNY

As a historian, compilations like this are great to have. Packed with primary sources and good introductions to each source and writing as well as relevant background info on the author(s).

Really good... Just a little tough

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2010

Verified Purchase

Really good, you can read the original sources of the Chinese tradition. However, I do not recommend the first volume if you are not really interested on difficult-to-understand-old-chinese-wording... This, of course, it is not the fault of the book but mine.

Dry academia reading. Had to get it for a class, but it was unfortunately dry for a colorful history.

Zugesendete Version entspricht nicht abgebildeter Version (Taschenbuch)

Reviewed in Germany on February 7, 2021

(Dies ist eine Rezension der Ausgabe, nicht des Buchinhalts, welcher hervorragend ist.)
Ich hatte die von amazon angebotenen Taschenbuchausgabe von de Barys Sources of Chinese Tradition (Vol. II) bestellt, erhalten habe ich stattdessen einen gebundenen Nachdruck durch Lightning Source UK Ltd., nicht die originale Taschenbuchausgabe (mit dem Foto eines gewebten Phönixes), die auf der Abbildung zu sehen ist.
Die dunkelblau gebundene Ausgabe hat keinen Schutzumschlag. Der Buchrücken trägt den Aufdruck "de Bary - Srces Chinese Trad. 2e v2". Die Klebung innen ist etwas fehlerhaft. Die ISBN-Nr. innen im Buch (vorletzte Seite) und auf dem Buchrücken entsprechen einander nicht.
Der Inhalt der Ausgabe entspricht ansonsten dem Original, soweit ich es überprüfen konnte. Ich bewerte lediglich mit einem Stern, da ohne Ankündigung eine Fassung zugesendet wird, die nicht der Abbildung des Originales entspricht.

Liked it even more than the previous work. Especially the sources on the Chinese encounter with the West is incredibly interesting, I think this work is essential to an understanding of modern Chinese History.
