Book of Tea

For a generation adjusting painfully to the demands of a modern industrial and commercial society, Asia came to represent an alternative vision of the good life: aesthetically austere, socially aristocratic, and imbued with spirituality. This book addresses the inchoate yearnings of disaffected Westerners.

Pentru o generatie care s-a adaptat dureros la cerintele unei societati industriale si comerciale moderne, Asia a ajuns sa reprezinte o viziune alternativa a vietii bune: austera din punct de vedere estetic, aristocratica din punct de vedere social si impregnata de spiritualitate. Aceasta carte abordeaza dorintele incepatoare ale occidentalilor nemultumiti.
