ISBN: 9781584302568.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tribute to the spirited life of one of Chinas greatest literary and historical heroes--poet, scholar, and statesman Su Dongpo.\nAs a little seed one day will\nbecome a great tree, as a flowing river\ncan carve a mighty rock...\nOne day the work you do will show too!\nEven as a young boy in eleventh-century China, Su Shih was clearly special. After finding a rare inkstone, he began to write stories and verses expressing his love of the natural world. His words flowed effortlessly. His brush danced across the paper.\nSu Shih grew up to become a leading scholar and statesman, eventually taking the name Su Dongpo. Integrating his love of natural order and humanity into his writings and civic works, Su Dongpo promoted justice and condemned corruption - often at his own peril. His life was rife with reversals of fortune; but through it all he retained his grace, his humility, and his compassion.\nAward-winning author and artist Demi has created a graceful tribute to one of historys most accomplished yet overlooked figures. Su Dongpos life truly transcends the ages and is a shining example of dignity, ingenuity, courage and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lee \u0026 Low Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965091999797,"sku":"ByrdShop_1584302569","price":62.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781584302568_40c8b721-1871-4bea-a1ef-614b20a78ab8.jpg?v=1781283474","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/life-of-a-genius-su-dongpo-9781584302568","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
