The Shaolin Monastery: History, Religion, and the Chinese Martial Arts by Meir Shahar
Requirements: PDF Reader, 5,2 MB
Overview: "Written in clear and lucid style and ambitious both in scope and methodology, this book offers a fascinating window into Chinese culture, religion, and history. Ranging from historical and ethnographic documents to a wide variety of literary sources, it weaves them all into a compelling narrative. In this fashion, Shahar is uniquely able to bring together social, historical, and mythological elements, providing a demythologized account of martial Chinese traditions such as Shaolin Boxing. This is sinology at its best."―Bernard Faure, Columbia University
