Więcej o książce
On his return to his home city of Qufu, former student Yuen Meng Ji is delighted to be reunited with his old Master, K'ong Fu Tzu after a five-year absence. But his delight at being home is short-lived as he is given the task of investigating the brutal murder of Shi, a complex former travelling companion and minor dignitary. Set in the year 518BC, The Path Least Travelled is not only an account of violent murder, but also a detailed insight into ancient China - its customs, political intrigues and philosophies. This account breathes life into the daily life of the citizens of Qufu, from how they acted and spoke to who they looked up to and why. The Master, K'ong Fu Tzu is an enigmatic, wise teacher who guides by example, teaching his follower how to unravel the riddles he finds himself ensnared in. Only in asking the right questions, will Yuen Meng Ji ever gain the answers he so desperately needs.
