During a period of political and social upheaval in China, the
unconventional insights of the great Daoist Zhuangzi (369?-286?
B.C.) pointed to a way of living naturally. Inspired by his
fascination with the wisdom of this sage, the immensely popular
Taiwanese cartoonist Tsai Chih Chung created a bestselling Chinese
comic book. Tsai had his cartoon characters enact the key parables
of Zhuangzi (pronounced jwawngdz), and he rendered Zhuangzi's most
enlightening sayings into modern Chinese. Through Tsai's enthusiasm
and skill, the earliest and core parts of the Zhuangzi were thus
made accessible to millions of Chinese-speaking people with no
other real chance of appreciating this major Daoist text.
Translated into English by Brian Bruya, the comic book is now
available to a Western audience. The classical Chinese text of the
selections of the Zhuangzi is reproduced in the margins throughout.
Evoked by the translation and the playful cartoons is the
spontaneity that Zhuangzi favors as an attitude toward life:
abandon presuppositions, intellectual debates, and ambitions, he
suggests, and listen to the "music of nature." With the writings
attributed to Laozi, the Zhuangzi contributed to an alternative
philosophical ideal that matched Confucianism in its impact on
Chinese culture. Over the centuries this classical Daoism
influenced many aspects of Chinese life, including painting,
literature, and the martial arts. It had a particularly strong
effect on Chan Buddhism (Japanese Zen). For this book, Donald Munro
has written an afterword that places Daoism and the Zhuangzi in
historical and cultural context.

Arguing that the comic is a quality of literary works of art in
other forms as well as comedy, George McFadden finds its essence in
the maintenance of some literary feature--a situation, a
character--as itself despite threats to alter it. Originally
published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.

Stan the Snowman does not have the best of luck. In fact, it seems
like everyone is out to get him. Beset by enemies on all sides, he
is viciously attacked by an extraordinary array of things - old
ladies, robins, super models, rabbits, hot water bottles,
daffodils, chocolate flakes, evil cannibal snowmen... The list goes
on and on in this hilarious cartoon collection of 99 freaky
fatalities that will leave you crying with laughter. A wintry
Christmas present to die for.
We all know a good boy.
He's a 'Feminist’... in his Tinder bio.
He ghosts you, but then feels bad. (For a moment.)
He’s not mansplaining, just aggressively clarifying.
And he's open to being wrong. Theoretically.
Ready to call time on rewarding those who clear the low bar of not
being outwardly awful?
Awards for Good Boys explores why so-called and self-proclaimed good
boys are actually not that great, and makes literal our tendency to
applaud men for doing the absolute least. It will make you cry-laugh,
feel validated, and help you unravel your own assumptions about what
makes us good.
You couldn?t find a more likable person than Sherman . . . except
that he's a shark. Make that a great white shark and the star of
Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon, one of the funniest takes on life to
be found above or below the water. So sit back and watch this shark
hit his mark in The Shark Diaries: The Seventh Sherman's Lagoon
Collection.Once again, the big-hearted but thick-skulled Sherman is
joined in the deep by his Louis Vuitton?packing girlfriend, Megan,
Fillmore the sea turtle, and a hermit crab named Hawthorne, among
others. This salty crew swims through a world of witty
observations, sharp rejoinders, and crystal clear views of
everything from ?hairless beach apes? to bulk shopping at the local
Price Club store. The result is a humor soaked in fun yet just a
shade drier than the Sahara.The Shark Diaries includes the most
recently published Sherman's Lagoon cartoons, picking up where last
year's Another Day in Paradise left off. The daily and Sunday
strips are here. The silly yet sophisticated setups are front and
center. Sherman and his buddies? numerous neuroses can?t be missed.
The fun returns with a splash, and this one promises to be a
whale?um, shark?of a winner.
