Stonecutter

Stonecutter by Muth, Jon J. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780312554569.

This adaptation of a Chinese folktale begins with a mans dissatisfaction with his life. Weary of being a stonecutter, he becomes many things in his quest for authority, each time finding that greater power lies elsewhere. Rooted in Taoist principles, Stonecutter is a story about the nature of power and the value of accepting who you are. Originally published in a limited, fine art edition and long out of print, this is one of Jon J Muths most heartfelt and exquisite works, and a book he entrusted to Feiwel and Friends to reach a wide new audience.
