Description

Yang Chu's 'Garden of Pleasure' invites readers into an ancient Chinese philosophy of hedonism and individual fulfilment. Embracing a life of sensual pleasures, Yang Chu explores the pursuit of happiness through nature, pleasure, and self-indulgence. This philosophical classic encourages a harmonious existence with one's desires, challenging traditional norms and fostering a contemplative appreciation of life's simple joys. Read in English, unabridged.
