Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a record of an extraordinary journey to China, undertaken by the author as part of a British delegation in the late 18th century. China, then a mysterious and little-known land, was seen by the author with fresh eyes, and his account offers an unparalleled firsthand glimpse into a civilization vastly different from his own. The author's observations cover a wide range of topics, from the country's geography and natural history to its politics, economy, social customs, and religious beliefs. He also provides valuable insights on the challenges and opportunities of exploring and understanding a foreign culture. Through its rich descriptions and astute analysis, this book deepens our understanding of 18th-century China and offers valuable lessons for cross-cultural understanding today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333446024_0
