Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Dragon and the Foreign Devils' is a compelling firsthand account of China during a pivotal era of transformation in the early twentieth century. Written by the renowned geologist and archaeologist Johan Gunnar Andersson, the work offers a unique perspective on the intersection of traditional Chinese culture and the encroaching influence of Western powers. Andersson, who lived and worked in the country for many years, provides a nuanced exploration of the social and political upheavals characterizing the Republican Era.The narrative delves into the complexities of the Chinese landscape and the nation's relationship with foreign outsiders, whom many locals referred to as 'foreign devils.' Through a series of insightful vignettes and observations, the author discusses everything from the daily lives of rural citizens to the internal conflicts of the warlord period. Andersson's scientific background informs his observations, yet the work remains an accessible and engaging piece of travel literature that captures a world in flux. This volume stands as a significant historical document, shedding light on the early cultural and intellectual exchanges between China and the West, and remains an essential read for those interested in Asian history, anthropology, and the roots of modern China.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
