Synopsis

First published in 1937, The Green Edge of Asia is a vivid and intimate account of the life in the Far East. The author's writing is subtly evocative, and in a few words, he conjures up a complete picture of the Monastery of Secluded Light with its blue-robed pilgrims, of a sordid street in Shanghai, or of the exquisite Japanese countryside. He is as informative as he is descriptive though and gives the reader much food for thought in his account of the gradual penetration of Western ideas and culture into the almost medieval and feudal civilization of China and Japan.
