JEN SHENG: THE ROOT OF LIFE

by Mikhail Prishvin ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 25, 1936

An exquisite fragile sort of book, which recalls the unique charm of Hudson's Far Away and Long Age and Green Mansions. It combines a rare appreciation of nature at close hand, with a philosophical content, in the symbolic study of the meaning of life and the search for Jen Sheng. The true story of a Russian scientist who met and joined forces with a Chinese hermit-philosopher in a remote section of Siberia. For the Peattie market.
