Title: The Confusions of Pleasure
First published: 1998
Description: "The Confusions of Pleasure marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue duree in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life."--BOOK JACKET.
