Description

Description from Open Library (opens in a new tab)

In Northern Darkness there lives a fish called K'un. We know very little about the life of Chuang Chou (commonly called Chuang-tzu), who wrote the nucleus of what Arthur Waley described as 'one of the most entertaining as well as one of the profoundest books in the world'.
