By Peter Yung Wai-Chuen

Over two thousand years old, Chuang Tze's fable "Autumn Floods" is one of the great works of Tao philosophy. Now, in this stunningly crafted volume, film director Peter Yung provides a pictorial interpretation of this classic work. Printed in a limited edition of one thousand copies, this unique handmade volume of photographs features an embossed calligraphic cover, heavy double-folded papers, vellum overlays with smokey pen-and-ink calligraphy, a seventeen-by-thirteen oversized format, and a durable slipcase. A book collector's dream, it will appeal to anyone attracted to Taoist philosophy, the quiet contemplation of nature, or exquisite bookmaking.
