I'm a Picture Person.......2000-05-07
Well, I am totally a picture person, and I found this book to be astonishing, I loved almost every pool I saw, there was some gardening pictures, but not that many, but i was personally looking for pools, that's probably why they titled it "POOLS and gardens". But if you love pictures and seeing other people's interpretations of beautiful scenery and living dreams, then i assure you that you will love this book!
Fascinating surreal images coupled with lack of substance.......2000-03-19
Dream Pools and Gardens does not supply any intelligible narrative and merely bombards the mind with image after image of mind-boggling pools. Was that the book's original purpose and goal? I certainly hope so.
Disappointing.......1999-07-22
I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book. Unfortunately, I found it to have little garden information, pictures which lacked good perspective and a narrative which was weakly written and included only sketchy details. "Reflections on Pools" is a much better book.

A wonderful and engrossing blend of fantasy and Chinese mythology .......2007-08-01
Dream of the Dragon Pool: A Daoist Quest, Albert A. Dalia's impressive debut novel, presents readers with a magical blend of fantasy, history, and Chinese mythology. Western literature has only just begun to tap into the wellspring of Far Eastern tradition and mythology, especially China's "tales of wonder," which seem almost tailor-made for the fantasy genre, but Albert A. Dalia has already drunk deeply from its refreshing waters. Don't let that word "Daoist" scare you off; I couldn't have told you what it meant, either - although I do know there is absolutely nothing "simplistic" about it or this novel. Heck, we're talking about universal concepts of existence here, mixing it up with profound insights into the very essence of life and dancing around enlightenment itself.
Dalia builds his story around Li Bo (or Li Bai), one of China's most celebrated poets. History tells us that Li Bo, who lived in the 8th century, got himself exiled from the imperial court, then likely perished in the Yangtze River soon afterward. Dalia's fantasy begins where history ends, introducing readers to Li Bo and his faithful warrior companion Ah Wu as they set out along the Yangtze River on their way to Li Bo's probable death in the dangerous land of his exile. The possibility of impending death doesn't bother Li Bo too much, though, for he is much more concerned with finding the poetic muse that will reawaken the inner poetry he has lost. Whatever inner magic helped him conjure up such immortal poems as Drinking Alone by Midnight is now gone. That is why he makes a point of visiting the mysterious Dragon Pool Temple along the way; the next morning, he leaves the place with the famed Dragon Pool Sword and a mission to deliver it to the Rain Goddess on her sacred mountain. Ah Wu considers the sword dangerous, but Li Bo is determined to fulfill his new, sacred quest.
The men soon meet a fellow traveler and his ghost-catching, alcohol-loving monkey (yes, you read that correctly) both of whom can be good to have around when danger beckons, which it does in the form of an assassin capable of killing people within their very own dreams and a Blood Dragon anxious to get her hands on the unmatched sword. Throw in the emperor's favorite shamaness attempting to flee to the Rain Goddess' sacred mountain, as well, and you've got yourself quite an engrossing adventure. The emotional heart of the story, though, is Chen, the ghost of a young woman. Bound to do the will of the Blood Dragon, she must befriend and betray Li Bo (whose true identity is unknown to her) against her will; what makes her struggle all the more poignant is the fact that her only remaining solace in her ghostly life is Li Bo's poetry.
There is plenty of action and excitement, on both land and sea, as Li Bo attempts to fulfill his quest and deliver the Dragon Pool Sword to the Rain Goddess on Mount Wu. All of the characters are wonderfully developed, while the backdrop of this ancient land and time makes for a wonderfully exotic setting for such a fantastic tale. As a long-time scholar of medieval Chinese history, Dalia really knows this long-ago world he is recreating and brings it vividly to life. If you're a fantasy fan looking for something a little different, or someone with an interest in Chinese history and mythology, or if you just appreciate a well-written novel, you'll want to undertake this Daoist quest alongside the great poet Li Bo. Dream of the Dragon Pool is a wonderfully engaging novel.
An extraordinary and wondrous tale.......2007-07-26
Wine and dreams are at the heart of this remarkable novel. Frankly I have never read anything like it. Dalia who is a Chinese scholar has recreated a style and a world view long gone from this realm, a style that interprets the world as dream and mystery, a style that celebrates Dao as an occult religion.
The form of the novel is a quest. Li Bo, a celebrated poet from the eighth century of the current era, whose drunkenness has led to his banishment from the imperial court, is the central character. He has lost his power with words. He is a poet who can no longer rhyme, to whom metaphors no longer occur. He and his warrior companion, Ah Wu, are traveling west as the adventure begins. What will they find? Will they encounter the Daoist immortals? And what does it mean to acquire the Dragon Pool Sword? Is it a curse as Ah Wu believes or an instrument to bring about heavenly recognition to Li Bo and perhaps a return to the imperial court with his poetic powers restored?
Dalia's prose, like those of a fairy tale master, immerses the reader in the mists of the long ago, into a world in which ghosts and dragons, shamanesses and wondrous magicians, goddesses and monsters, exist in reality as they do in myth. He recalls a vision of this world in which there is no line drawn between the mysterious and the mundane, between the world of spirit and that of mortal flesh. The gods and the goddesses are real. Monkeys can catch ghosts and creatures such as the Albino Swordsman can enter your dreams and kill you while you lie sleeping. The dragon can assume horrific forms, terrible and awesome to the eyes. And mortals can mingle with immortals.
To write such a novel requires a child-like love of mystical adventure combined with a deep understanding of the subconscious of human beings. It requires a love for the legends and the mysteries of the past. Dalia's quest is to take us back to the supernatural world that existed for the people who lived during the time of the Tang dynasty and to allow that consciousness to invade our minds and envelop us in wonder and mystery. His is a splendid accomplishment, a fantasy rich in imagination and history, an atmospheric tale charged with the phantasmagoric.
Secret Temples, Beautiful Women and One Bad Dragon.......2007-07-19
Fantasy has had its share of writers that love to use ancient China as a setting. It is a world where the culture seems almost as mythical as the dragons and deities that often lurk around the edges. Those of us who have been around for a bit fondly remember Van Gulik's Judge Dee and Ernest Bramah's Kai Lung. Kai Lung, of course, was completely imaginary, but Judge Dee was based on a real Chinese character. Adding to this body of English 'Chinese' stories is Albert Dalia's story of Li Bo, also based on a real character a poet and sometimes adventurer living eighth century. We are invited to join Li Bo on his voyage of exile after a life of drunken poetry writing at the Chinese court. A trip full of ghosts, beautiful goddesses, harrowing monsters, and an unending supply of cheap rice wine.
Albert Dalia is a scholar of Chinese literature who is quick to inform us that The Dream of the Dragon Pool is written in a style known as wuxia xiaoshuo, what we might refer to as heroic fiction. Li Bo, who seems equally at home drinking, discussing Daoism and wielding weapons, isn't quite the heroic material we've grown used to in western fiction, but he quickly ingratiates himself to the reader, as do many of the other characters in the story. Characterization is one of the most important factors in the success of the story, that and a pleasant attention to setting that marks much of oriental fiction, and provides a contrasts to the often horrific events taking place on that backdrop.
Li Bo, who seeks to restore meaning to his life, pauses in his journey to spend a night in a tomb on a nameless mountain, seeking a dream that will help him set things right in his life. A dream he gets, but not necessarily on he expects. A mysterious woman gives him the Dragon Pool Sword and requires that he bring it to the Rain Goddess. Evil is on the move, and the sword must go to where it will be best protected. Li Bo and his faithful companion Ah Wu set out, only to run into complications at every turn. A blood dragon sends his minions after the sword. An albino assassin who kills in one's sleep starts a rain of terror. Good friends become ghosts, and ghosts become good friends. A mysterious swordsman with a monkey in tow might be a friend or maybe he isn't.
Dalia manages to tell this complex story with striking clarity and natural flow. He comes very close to duplicating the look and feel of the literature from which he draws his inspiration. If fantasy both esoteric and adventurous is to your taste I suggest you seek out Albert Dalia's work.

Kung Fu Cinema Review.......2007-07-13
Hello,
I'm the author, Albert A. Dalia, and I had to share with you a wonderful review of my book Dream of the Dragon Pool - A Daoist Quest, that has just appeared on the martial arts movies review site: www.kungfucinema.com. It places my novel in the context of Chinese wuxia movie genre. I think you'll find it interesting.
Dream of the Dragon Pool: A Daoist Quest
Book Review | by Mark Pollard | 2007.07.12
SCORE: Four out of Five Stars
Pleasure Boat Studio
* Amazon.com
China possesses a rich tradition of fantastical oral and written storytelling that has mostly remained outside the scope of English-language literature, apart from obscure scholarly works. This tradition is brimming with tales of heroic knights, despicable bandits, illicit affairs, courtly intrigue, and strange otherworldly encounters drawn from popular folklore and mythology, often filtered through Taoist, Confucian or Buddhist sentiments.
For years, these tales have provided the basis for the many fantasy, wuxia and kung fu movies produced in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Films like A CHINESE GHOST STORY and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON have given many Westerners their first glimpse of flying sword heroes engaged in battle, fox spirits seducing wandering scholars and mystical mountain retreats of advanced martial and philosophical learning.
More adventurous film enthusiasts have discovered that this is merely a sampling of a broader wealth of cinematic treasures that number in the thousands, from the colorful, classic films of Shaw Brothers studios to the more recent computer effects-filled spectacles of Tsui Hark and his mainland Chinese counterparts. Yet what of their oft overlooked literary and cultural roots and the influences these elements have had on fiction in the Western world?
In China and neighboring territories, wuxia fiction is still immensely popular. The classic works of leading authors Jin Yong and Gu Long have been read by millions around the globe. The wuxia genre's popularity is comparable to mystery, romance and fantasy genres in the West. It is no wonder, considering that wuxia fiction often draws together elements from all brands of popular genre fiction, in addition to philosophy and religion. Perhaps, this is one reason why Western authors, and readers, have been slow to embrace this genre. In addition to its limited availability in English translation, wuxia fiction is almost overwhelming in its breadth and scope of what is still often seen as foreign. Common facets that longtime readers take for granted can appear as exotic mysteries for newcomers, even those familiar with some of the film adaptations.
Walk into any bookstore in the U.S. and you will discover well-defined sections devoted to general fiction, science fiction (and fantasy), romance, mystery, and mythology. Yet no where will you ever find a wuxia section and likely no where placed among the bookshelves overstuffed with Oprah Book Club picks and NYT bestsellers will you find even a single translated wuxia novel. Interested readers often must special order translations of timeless fantasy and wuxia classics such as A Journey to the West and Outlaws of the Marsh.
Into this seemingly impenetrable realm of ignorance and possibility treads Dream of the Dragon Pool, the first wuxia novel from China scholar and intrepid literary pioneer Albert A. Dalia. To my knowledge, this is also the first English-language wuxia novel ever published. If so, and I'm sure readers will correct me if I am wrong, this marks a very important place, both in the history of publishing and in what I like to see as the growing popularity of Chinese storytelling in Western pop culture.
Pop culture is exactly the term I would use in reference to Dream of the Dragon Pool, for while it may it first glance appear to be a scholarly novelization on the mystical life of a famous Chinese poet of antiquity, it is in actuality as accessible and creative as any Stephen King novel or Hong Kong action movie.
The book's tale takes place in 8th century China during the Tang Dynasty, chiefly set along the Yangtze River which runs through south-central China from what is today known as Qinghai Province and eastward to the sea near Shanghai.
The central protagonist is Li Bo, also known as Li Bai (see Wikipedia entry), a historical figure known as one of China's greatest poets. He is a proud drunkard and womanizer who has recently fallen out of favor with the Emperor and has been sentenced to exile in the Western regions. His only companions on this journey are his faithful servant and boatman, Old Zhou, and his trusted friend and protector Wang Ah Wu.
Ah Wu's skill with a crossbow and heightened battle senses, honed from years of military service prove invaluable in keeping apparitions at bay as Li Bo makes his way to a fabled Dream Temple in hopes that such a place will aid him in reclaiming his muse.
Along the way Li Bo is visited in his dreams by an old woman who hands him the legendary Dragon Pool Sword and tasks him with transporting it safely to the Rain Goddess atop a 12-peaked mountain further upriver.
Of course, what is a quest without danger and intrigue? Along Li Bo's path lie a deadly albino assassin who kills people in their sleep, a reluctant golden-haired seductress who happens to be a ghost and a vicious Blood Dragon that sucks the blood of its victims through their armpits and prowls the river in hopes of getting the sword for use in upsetting the balance of good and evil.
Other characters Li Bo encounters include a young, wandering swordsman named Ma Ssu-ming and his ghost-catching monkey, and an unusually powerful Taoist priestess named Shamaness Luo.
Since I primarily write about movies and have read very little translated wuxia literature to date, I am going to relate this novel to Hong Kong cinema. The book plays out a bit like a cross between A CHINESE GHOST STORY and ASHES OF TIME. Like Wong Kar-wai's film, all of the central characters are outcasts in some form whose lives, or in some cases deaths, intersect at a critical point despite each having distinct aspirations and fates.
There is freshness, a slight spring to Dalia's writing and approach that nicely counteracts the morbid nature of some of the content. Li Bo is a poet without a poet's voice, who drowns himself in wine every chance he gets. Yet within him there remains a great love of the simple pleasures and beauty in life that have for years inspired his readers through his writing.
Ah Wu has lost his wife, his sons and his purpose in life as a soldier. Despite his pessimistic mood and rashness, which is in opposition to Li Bo's temperament, Ah Wu's friendship with the poet means everything to him.
As a ghost condemned to the Blood Dragon's service, Chen Shao-lin is the third main character and in many ways represents Joey Wang's character in A CHINESE GHOST STORY. She is a tragic figure, a victim of evil in life and death whose love of Li Bo's poetry restores her humanity at a crucial time. She also goes through the greatest character transformation in the story, by attempting to break free from her master's hold.
Ma Ssu-ming is less well-defined internally and provides more of the typically light-hearted flavor that Hong Kong cinema's many great supporting characters often do. Ssu-ming is characterized as a great swordsman, but what defines him is his relationship to his simian companion, who he jokingly refers to as his master. He does so while trying to dissuade others from voicing the word "monkey" in its presence. In truth, there is more than meets the eye to his agile friend, although the reader is left to ponder this until the end.
The main threat in the story is of a supernatural nature and comes in the form of the Blood Dragon, a being Dalia defines very well for being something I have never heard of before. It is a petty demon blinded by hatred that exhibits at least as many flaws as the humans it despises so much. Yet the demon's powers are potent and highly unusual. It can produce assassins from paper dolls splattered in blood. It can transform itself into an attractive female or a hideous serpent. One interesting trait is that the Blood Dragon often takes on the guise of the most hated enemy of those who see it. What Li Bo briefly sees is telling, both for the character and for Dalia as an author who frequently drops little gems into his story that he doesn't linger on but allows discerning readers to savor.
Although the story moves along quickly and is an easy read, there isn't a lot of action by typical wuxia standards. Dalia approaches this story, not from the perspective of an action or martial arts buff, but as a writer and scholar. Much of the excitement comes from the internal conflicts and potential that many of the characters exhibit to perform violent acts. For instance, the reader is often teased by the albino assassin. In a basket hat that hides his face, he lurks in the shadows and works his dark arts silently by slipping into the dreams of others to kill them while they sleep. This doesn't allow for much in the way of sword fights, but it is a clever trick that should be familiar to those who have seen the movie DREAMSCAPE.
Dalia does a fine job of building up to his climaxes and fleshing out his characters gradually, in a way that keeps the reader engaged during their journey up the river. With the emphasis on the yang and yin nature of life and death it is interesting to see how these two states mingle so closely in the story and the players. I don't know how well this reflects on Chinese thought today, yet it is definitely a different approach from most Western thinking where death is looked upon as the end of the journey. In contrast, death appears to be merely the beginning of a second phase in the existence of beings in this realm where some are condemned to levels of hell, others become immortals and some become unwilling servants of otherworldly creatures.
The real pleasure in reading Dragon Pool is seeing how existence and conflict is witnessed from the perspective that goes beyond life and death. These are merely states with slightly different rules that define them. It gives Dalia a lot of room to play with, yet he keeps the story focused.
The ending comes a bit abruptly as the final conflict arrives with Li Bo and his friends facing the Blood Dragon. Loose ends are tied up quickly and there is a sense that things have happened a little too smoothly. This could be the fault of the storytelling device, which relies on rarely seen, god-like figures that seem to be pulling the strings behind the curtain. This is a common problem with myth telling that involves deities as it strips away some of the mystery of life and death and suggests that the players may be stuck, at least in part, on a predestined track. Regardless, Dalia is working with some interesting concepts that many readers not familiar with classical Chinese philosophy and culture should find interesting at least.
Anyone who enjoys literary-minded martial arts cinema, be it the wuxia and fantasy films of Tsui Hark, Chu Yuan or King Hu, will undoubtedly enjoy reading Dream of the Dragon Pool. It is a mature and polished first offering from Albert A. Dalia that suggests he knows his Chinese source material well and knows how to transfer it into a fun and refreshing tale for English-speaking readers. It is a unique treat to be able to enjoy an original work of fiction that really captures the spirit and flavor of Chinese storytelling. I suspect that Dalia, who possesses four decades of study into medieval Chinese history and culture as his foundation, has a lot more to share. I sincerely hope the Western publishing world and book buying public is ready for his brand of genre fiction because I know I am.
Dream of the Dragon Pool was published in April 2007 by Pleasure Boat Studio. A complete list of the publisher's titles is available at pleasureboatstudio.com. For more information about author Albert A. Dalia visit aadalia.com.
Seductive, Intelligent and well-researched.......2007-06-20
I admit from the onset that I am not much of a martial arts fan, but Dream of the Dragon Pool goes far beyond that limiting moniker. It is an intelligently written and thoroughly enjoyable journey to another culture and era. A host of interesting main and secondary characters are our guide, and women readers will be glad to see the strengths of female warriors are amply celebrated as well. So, when is the movie version coming out?
