The Problem of China.

RUSSELL, Bertrand.

Published by London George Allen & Unwin Ltd, 1922

First edition, first impression; 8vo (20.5 x 14 cm); dated ownership inscription in pen to front pastedown; publisher's navy cloth ruled in blind, spine lettered in gilt, slightly darkened, slightly rubbed with minor loss to joints, occasional light spotting, otherwise very good. After the disappointment of his visit to Russia in spring 1920, which left Russell disillusioned with the state of Soviet communism, he was invited to spend a year as a visiting lecturer at Peking University. He accepted at once, and found to his great delight, a sympathy with the Chinese people and their culture. The Problem of China collects together the articles Russell wrote during his stay 'expressing his love of the Chinese people and his desire to see the more industrially advanced countries learning from them rather than destroying them' (ODNB).
