Synopsis

Edwin Dingle's Across China on Foot is one of the great classics of China adventure writing, first published in 1911. Dingle was articulate, perceptive and an eccentric in the true British tradition. He ended up founding his own religion in the United States. Here, he recounts his adventures as he travels up the Yangtze River from Shanghai and then by foot southwest across some of China's most wild and woolly territory to Burma.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Edwin Dingle was an English journalist born in 1881. In the early 1900s, he was working in Singapore. He made his famous trip across China in 1909 and 1910, and then settled in Shanghai, where he lived until 1927 as the proprietor of the newspaper China and Far East Finance and Commerce. He then went to the United States, where he founded a health and sex cult, which kept him occupied in a world far away from the one found in this book until the ripe old age of 91.
