In just thirteen brief, accessible chapters, this engaging little
book takes "absolute beginners" from the most basic questions about
the language (e.g., what does a classical Chinese character look
like?) to reading and understanding selections from classical
Chinese philosophical texts and Tang dynasty poetry. " An
outstanding introduction to reading classical Chinese . Van Norden
does a wonderful job of clearly explaining the basics of classical
Chinese, and he carefully takes the reader through beautifully
chosen examples from the textual tradition. An invaluable work."
-Michael Puett, Harvard University
