Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The Forbidden City is a palace complex in central Beijing, China. It houses the Palace Museum, and was the former Chinese imperial palace and state residence of the Emperor of China from the Ming dynasty (since the Yongle Emperor) to the end of the Qing dynasty, between 1420 and 1924. A limitless plain, broken by lotus-covered lakes, whose waters are ploughed by junks of monstrous form, a land of innumerable isles and hills, all bearing flags, turrets, and pagodas; a land resembling an enormous artificial park, the apotheosis of the fictitious, the conventional, a land whose inhabitants all alike, men with slanting eyes, long robes, gentle and calculated movements, incapable of a virile gesture or a frank word; a country at once uniform, artificial, peaceful, and traditional; the same today as it has been since history began. A voyage of exploration thus conceived would embrace an immense domain. The book is the product of extensive study of the Chinese cultural heritage. The subject of the book is good. The author has preserved about 126 illustrations, a map and a portrait from oblivion, which he considers his duty as a well-wisher of China and its people. The book is immensely beneficial for all.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a forbidden expedition through the unexplored regions of China and Tibet. The author traveled on horseback and on foot through rugged terrain, often in disguise, to reach the independent territories of the Lolos and the Si-Fan, ethnic groups that fiercely resisted domination. In doing so, the author challenges many misconceptions of the day, including the notion that the Chinese people are a monolithic ethnic group. Along the way, the author contemplates themes such as war and peace, the motivations of explorers, and the malleability of borders and nations. This book serves as a testament to the power of one man's determination to unravel the mysteries of a hidden world and sheds light on the complex history and diversity of the Far East. 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.…
