First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. S.Pinkus (illustrator). 1st Edition. Kowtow By Princess Der Ling - Illustrated by S. Pinkus - Green Cloth with gilt lettering and decoration published by Dodd Mead, 1929. assumed 1st edition. "Kowtow" is a captivating autobiographical account by Princess Der Ling, offering an intimate glimpse into the fading grandeur of the Qing Dynasty. As a daughter of a high-ranking diplomat and a former lady-in-waiting to the formidable Empress Dowager Cixi, Der Ling provides a unique perspective on the intersection of Eastern tradition and Western influence during a pivotal moment in Chinese history. The narrative follows the author's upbringing in a cosmopolitan environment, her education in Europe, and her eventual return to the Forbidden City. Through her eyes, readers experience the rigid etiquette, elaborate ceremonies, and complex political intrigues that defined the imperial court. Princess Der Ling details her complex relationship with the Empress Dowager, portraying her not merely as a ruler, but as a multi-faceted woman navigating the pressures of a changing world. Combining personal memoir with historical observation, "Kowtow" serves as a vital record of a vanished era. It explores themes of cultural identity, the role of women in the imperial hierarchy, and the inevitable shift toward modernity. This work remains an essential read for those interested in the history of China, royal biographies, and the personal stories behind the walls of the Forbidden City. "very good externally, some light cloth wear, clean and tight, some browning title page" BX91.
