- Abstract
- en_US This is a worthy book. It is divided into nine sections, with a reflection following each, apparently written by Chua Wei Lin. I presume that he also wrote the prologue, The Journey of Your Life! Some seventy-three fables are done in comics panels in these nine sections. Many are quite good! At the bottom of a fable is regularly a philosopher's moral for the fable and the literary source. Some of my favorites here include The Man from Zheng Buys Shoes (10); Waiting for Hares to Come (14); Learning the Handan Walk (24); Blind Men Try to Size Up an Elephant (26); An Owl Moves East (36); Two Boys Argue about the Sun (40); Pulling Up Shoots to Help Them Grow (mistitled, 45); Celebrity Endorsement (56); If the Lips Are Gone, the Teeth Will Be Cold (64); Yang Yu Beats the Dog (72); A Man from Yue and a Dog (74); Thrusting One's Spear at One's Own Shield (87); Whipping a Horse or a Goat (88); and The Strategy of Covering Up One's Nose (92).
