Ed Young's lush tribute to the heart of emotion and to the beauty of the Chinese language, now in a small, perfect gift size.
In this deeply personal book, Ed Young explores twenty-six Chinese characters, each describing a feeling or emotion, and each containing the symbol for the heart.
Through stunning collage art that interprets the visual elements within each character, Young uncovers layers of meanings for words such as joy and sorrow, respect and rudeness. He invites readers to probe the full range of their own emotions and he gives a context for discussing ethics and the similarities between old and new, East and West.
It's a book for those who love the beauty of language and the beauty of the heart.
