TOTAL Cost: $19.76
Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into a foreign culture and its unique way of life. The author, an esteemed Chinese scholar, traveled to London in the early 20th century and immersed himself in the daily lives and customs of the British people. The book begins with travel details such as the difficulties and perils of the voyage and the author's initial impressions of the city. Many of the book's observations are amusing and lighthearted, with the author remarking on the curious habits and strange foods of the British. Yet, the book also provides valuable insights into the social and cultural norms of the time, including the rigid social etiquette, obsessive punctuality and rather unorthodox dining habits. These detailed observations that reach deep into the fabric of British customs and traditions of the period are what make the book so insightful and entertaining. 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.
