Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book journeys through the Far East, principally around Japan, Manila, Hong Kong, Canton, Singapore, Rangoon, India, and Egypt. The author describes his impressions of the places and the people he encounters during his voyage. He finds great differences between Western Civilization and that of the East, but also a universal human thread. Though published over a century ago, this book's observations provide a fascinating historical contrast to these cultures today. Among the many keen insights offered are the author's thoughts on the growing Japanese Empire, the hardworking nature of the Chinese, and the depth of religious devotion in India. This is not a book interested in labeling the East as strange or inferior, but rather as an attempt to bridge the gap in understanding between two very different worlds.
