Steven Wu's Book Reviews Author Title Rating ... Latest Bridge of Birds Book 01, The Master Li Series by Barry Hughart A Book Review Rating: 10 One of the best books I have ever read. Unforgettable. Format: Novel Genre: Fantasy Published: Dates read: 2002-07-27 to 2002-08-02 Summary: A peasant, Number Ten Ox, accompanies the incorrigible sage Li Kao on a journey to find a cure to a mysterious plague that has struck the children of the village. But slowly they discover that there is much more to their quest than a simple search for a ginseng root with legendary restorative powers. Barry Hughart's Bridge of Birds is a whimsical adventure through an ancient China cobbled together from history and myth. It tells the story of a peasant, Number Ten Ox, who accompanies the incorrigible sage Li Kao on a journey to find a cure to a mysterious plague that has struck the children of the village. But slowly they discover that there is much more to their quest than a simple search for a ginseng root with legendary restorative powers. Hughart writes in an easy and almost facetious manner that befits the character of Li Kao, the optimistic and unfazeable scholar whose acumen saves Number Ten Ox and himself from a thousand grisly deaths. The combination of Hughart's style and Li Kao's machinations is hilarioustake, for instance, the following level-headed declamation by Li:

Children in village struck down with strange plague, needs cure, call in the wise man to aide the strong, stupid, yet good intentioned guy. Their quest overlaps a different, and far older, series of events. Must find out the truth to set the past right and save all the children." Amy, Resident Barry Hughart Scholar "In "an ancient China that never was," Number Ten Ox lives an ordinary life - until a mysterious plague strikes his village, or at least all the children between 8 and 13. He seeks a wise man to solve the mystery of the plague that can count, and finds Li Kao, an ancient, masterful scholar with a slight flaw in his character. Together they seek first the solution and then the cure." Ivy, Resident Barry Hughart Scholar

==a critical list with discussions== This is a brief discussion of Barry Hughart and, of course, of some books by Barry Hughart. This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Hughart; it includes those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark ( ) before the title so you know what's what.) I don't pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Hughart tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Hughart worthy; in sum, to help you rank Hughart (and the works by Hughart listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

Bridge of Birds . Corgi. 1984 Review: The children in Number Ten Ox's village Ku-fu have been accidentally poisoned by unscrupulous con men. Ox is sent to find someone to help save them, and he picks Li Kao, a wily old scholar with a slight flaw in his character. Together they embark on a quest to find the Great Heart of Power a very special ginseng root to cure the children. But it seems their quest is linked to an older legend, of Jade Pearl and the Bridge of Birds. This is a charming, witty, and interesting story. The oriental-esque style is used well to add colour and bizarre detail, without ever becoming overly-precious, and there are some imaginative twists and turns. Many well-hidden clues are given (although the identity of one of the ostensibly mystery characters is blindingly obvious), and there are many ingenious escapes and rescues. A pleasure to read.

To solve the problem and save the children, one young man and one very old sage, "with a slight flaw in his character" undertake a series of adventures across the breadth of a fantastic China. They encounter a cast of funny, outrageous, terrifying and magnificent characters while pursuing the answer. Their feats are always daring, sometimes comic, sometimes thrilling and the book has the feel and style of a fairy tale for those of us who never quite grew up. It's charming and I loved it. I hope to find more books by this author. Highly recommended for light reading."

35. Barry Hughart, Bridge Of Birds barry hughart, Bridge of Birds (Ballantine Books, 1984). barry hughartwrites with an easy brilliance not matched by many others. http://www.rambles.net/hughart_birds.html

Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds (Ballantine Books, 1984) Imagine, if you will, a comfortable little village, filled with peasants trying to get by on the little they earn from raising silkworms and other odd jobs. The streets and hillsides are filled with peasant children, happily playing together, their days filled with rhymes, dances, and other ritualized games children play. The birds sing, the waters roll, and the days are happy. Then imagine that those children are suddenly silenced. This is precisely what the village of Ku-Fu faces in Bridge of Birds The sleepy Chinese village where this story begins gives no clue to the exotic, outrageous adventures to which it leads. With the children of the village poisoned beyond hope of recovery without obtaining a magic root, an unlikely hero emerges; Number Ten Ox, a strong youth of little talent. His quest for a wise man to guide them leads him to another unlikely hero, Li Kao. Self-described as "having a slight flaw in my character," Li Kao is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goal. Thus an elderly man-of-the-world and a strong, naïve youth set out on a quest for the magical great root of power, to save the children of the village. Together, the two embark on an unlikely journey filled with mystical legends, great gods, misers, ghosts, puzzles, monsters, and other exciting elements of great fiction. This is truly a Chinese story, from the get-go. Beyond the intricate histories that go with the names of the characters, towns, and buildings, there are bigger-than-life gods that walk the earth. This tale includes the legendary sword dance, a grand ceremonial dance that begins with slow and precise strikes with a sword, and builds to the competitors fighting while flying through the air, with ferocious yet beautiful strokes of the sword. It also describes in great detail the exact way to prepare porcupine such that it is not a fatally poisonous dish. Hughart describes these details with great passion, breathing life into every word.

La Magnificence des oiseaux de Barry Hughart Le livre La Magnificence des oiseaux est paru en 2000 aux éditions Denoël , dans la collection Lunes d'Encre La quatrième de couverture Pour lutter contre une épidémie pour le moins singulère - puisqu'elle sait compter et ne touche que les enfants de son village - Boeuf Numéro Dix se rend à Pékin le jour de son dix-neuvième anniversaire. Là, il rencontre un vieil alcoolique, un sage qui bien des années auparavant fut célèbre sous le nom de Maître Li. De retour au village, tous deux découvrent sans mal que Fang le prêteur sur gages et Ma le Grigou ont empoisonné les enfants par erreur. Les deux coupables ont pris la fuite, mais il reste à guérir les enfants... Ainsi commence la première enquête de Boeuf Numéro Dix et Maître Li, dans une Chine qui ne fut jamais, où la recherche de la Grande Racine de Pouvoir les conduira à briser la terrible malédiction qui pèse sur la princesse aux oiseaux... Narrée avec beaucoup d'humour, récompensée par le World Fantasy Award 1985, cette aventure délirante - où les personnages principaux échappent à la mort à chaque chapitre - ravira autant les amateurs des enquêtes du juge Ti que les lecteurs assidus de Terry Pratchett.

Barry Hughart News 03 Jul 2000 Magpie Bookshop has just listed the first edition hardcover of Eight Skilled Gentlemen for £225. Supply is low, demand is high. 20 Feb 2000 Jerry Kuntz has just posted an interview he conducted with Barry Hughart, and it is very interesting indeed. 19 Dec 1999 Jerry Kunz reports: "Barry Hughart has generously allowed us to publish online the original draft of his 1985 World Fantasy Award winning novel Bridge of Birds . This draft, written years before the final published version, includes episodes that later appeared in all 3 of Hughart's Master Li novels. However, there are major differences; for instance, in this draft, Master Li is nineteen years old, and Number Ten Ox only makes a brief appearance as a village idiot! At Barry's suggestion, access to the draft has been presented as a challenge: each chapter file is hidden in a 3-D maze; and is password protected by questions whose answers can only be found by reading the chapters in sequential order. The maze is a java applet, and the password prompts are javascript. [there are instructions for getting access to the chapters if your browser can't handle java].
