Heart of Darkness


Book Description

This new edition combines Conrad's searing classic "Heart of Darkness" with an equally provocative, though less well known novella, "The Secret Agent". The volume is enriched by a number of intriguing gems from the archives of The New York Public Library, including a handwritten note from the author to his London agent and another to H.L. Mencken.




Entering the Dharmadh?tu


Book Description

New identifications of the 460 bas-reliefs of Borobudur illustrating the Gandavy?ha, based upon a comparison with the contents of three early Chinese translations of Sanskrit manuscripts of the text of Central Asian or Indian provenance.




Possessing the Past

A major scholarly work, published in conjunction with the exhibition titled "Splendors of Imperial China: Treasures from the National Palace Museum, Taipei" (on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during 1996, and scheduled for several other American cities during 1996-1997). Written by scholars of both Chinese and Western cultural backgrounds and conceived as a cultural history, the book synthesizes scholarship of the past three decades to present the historical and cultural significance of individual works of art and analyses of their aesthetic content, as well as reevaluation of the cultural dynamics of Chinese history.
