Four Huts – Asian Writings on the Simple Life
The short works collected in Four Huts give voice to one of the most treasured aesthetic and spiritual ideals of Asia—that of a simple life lived in a simple dwelling. The texts were written between the ninth and the seventeenth centuries and convey each author's underlying sense of the world and what is to be valued in it.
Four Huts presents original translations by Burton Watson—one of the most respected translators of Chinese and Japanese literature.
