Hanshan, which means Cold Mountain, was the pseudonym adopted by an
unknown poet who lived in China as a hermit twelve hundred years
ago. The poems collected under his name have had an immense impact
worldwide, especially among Zen Buddhists, and have been translated
into many languages. Peter Hobson's translation of more than a
hundred of the poems, almost all of which are published for the
first time in this volume, brings those qualities of timelessness,
poetic diction and engaging rhythm that do justice to the concepts
and language of the original. This edition includes not only a
clear and succinct introduction for the general reader but also
highly informative sections on Hanshan's place in history and on
issues involved in translating Hanshan.
