4.9/5 (27955 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Children of Far Cathay: A Social and Political Novel IN this work I have endeavoured to give a true and unexaggerated description of the domestic life of the Chinese; of the ideas, customs and superstitions which inﬂuence and characterise them; of the unique and artistic beauty of their architecture; and particularly of the cruel system of bondage and extortion imposed upon them by their present rulers. The quaint tales, legends and proverbs related herein are essentially Oriental, and are in daily use among the people of the Middle Kingdom; indeed, without them this would not he a faithful delineation of Chinese life and character. The religious and political arguments advanced by the various characters introduced in the story do not necessarily coincide with the author's opinions, but are given as purely from a Chinese point of view.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
