Sobre este artículo
T.N. Foulis, 1919. first edition. hardcover. good: corners and spine bumped, boards age worn, spine faded, toning and offset on paste downs, previous owner's name/address on half title page, some underlining and checkmarks in pencil in text./no DJ. Octavo 78pp. from publisher's advertisement at back of book: "These letters, here translated so beautifully and sympathetically, were written by Kwei-li, the wife of a Chinese official, to her husband when he accompanied his master, Prince Chung, on a trip round the world. The writer stands at the parting of the ways between the old civilization of China and the modern era which has now superseded it, and indirectly reveals much of the beauty of the old patriarchal Chinese life, of which so little is known." #00164.
