Publisher's Synopsis

Between 2006 and 2009, Vikram Seth wrote four librettos for the composer Alec Roth and the violinist Philippe Honor . The first three were about places China during the Tang Dynasty, the Salisbury house of the poet George Herbert (where Seth lives) and India; the fourth, about the elements, overarched the other three. Collected here together and accompanied by the poet s own calligraphy, The Rivered Earth is a work of immense beauty.
