Čínské písmo

The successful title Čínské písmo is now published in a revised and expanded edition. It is conceived as an all-round overview ‘book on Chinese writing’, introducing the wider public to its nature and characteristics, the rules of its use and its development in the formative period. Newly included in the book is a discussion of traditional Chinese typography and the adaptation of Chinese characters for writing other languages. A separate section also discusses Chinese calligraphy, its history, and its technical and artistic qualities. The book is richly illustrated and is supplemented by an updated bibliography, indexes, a chronological table of Chinese history, and a list of radicals.
