An excellent introduction. This book has many translations of his poems and a good introduction to Du Fu’s life and place in the Chinese Tang society. Pictures are beautiful.
There is a main map. Unfortunately, it only shows Du Fu’s endless movements as a refugee (with his family- my children grew up on the move, he says) from 755 to 770. [see p 11].
It doesn’t show his trips pre- 755 which are described in the book. The map is also not clear as to his movements.
A good effort, nonetheless.
