Unofficial History of Pi Wei
Boasting itself as the first symbolist kung fu novel ever written, the Unofficial History of Pi Wei, tells the story of the lowly Pi Wei and his path of retribution, in which mystical insight and martial training interweave. Organized into fifty-six chapters, and told with an absolute freedom of expression, this extraordinary tale offers a wealth of hidden knowledge and poetic excesses that is at once elegant and humane.
This is a work of obvious interest; but one must turn the pages in order to penetrate the secrets.
