Bredon Juliet | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

First published in 2006. The Moon Year is an attempt at recording the mysterious and
somewhat elusive traditions of the Chinese. Juliet Bredon and Igor
Mitrophanow trace their way through the intimate life of the society,
their religions, their superstitions, their philosophies, and customs.
Only after a year's residence in China are they able to gather a much
more intimate perspective on this age-old civilization that has
withstood the test of time. Bredon and Mitrophanow attempt to
unravel some of the puzzles that surround this fascinating culture,
through describing in detail the everyday beliefs of the Chinese people
and the festivals of their 'Moon Calendar,' used as a diary of daily
happenings.
