Robert Van Gulik, eminent orientalist and sinologist, author of Sex life in ancient China, many and very famous Judge Ti's investigations , publications concerning various aspects of traditional Chinese civilization, diplomat in the East, loved and raised at his home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, several gibbons.
French studies on these distinguished and delightful animals remain very rare; to the zoological and sympathetic study Van Gulik adds what Borges calls "the poetry of erudition", examining evocations and figures, in classical Chinese literature and painting, of these graceful and amiable monkeys. Here one can read texts not translated anywhere else, and fine commentaries on very little-known paintings.
