內容簡介
The intention of our compilation of this illustrated album of the epic lies in the follwing considerations:It is a long-stand-ing culture and tradition shared by different countries around the world to adapt classic works in light,popular forms. Not only foreign masterpieces,such as the Bible and Buddhist Scriptures,but also China’s four famous classical novels,including Three Kingdoms,Outlaws of the Marsh,Journey to the West,and A Dream of Red Mansions,have all been popularized in light ways. Even The Communist Manifesto,a great work dubbed by Lenin as the “Bible of the working class,”has also been introduced to the mass working class and laborers through an illustrated format. Therefore,we believed that the epic,Gesar,should also be popularized in a direct manner.Furthermore,except for Tibetan prints,there was no complete Mandarin version of the epic,not to mention foreign-language versions,so the the introduction of the dpic in different models became necessary and urgent.Based on these facts,we decided to compile this illustrated album of Gesar.
