Hardbound. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. A foreign visitor's impressions of China and the Chinese in 1925. While lamenting the 'inscrutability' of the Chinese mind, Steep still has a keen eye for details and differences, and an obvious affection for the people. One particularly astute observation relates to his confidence in…the positive role that women will play in China's future development. Occasionally tongue-in-cheek, and much of his observations are politically incorrect by today's standards, but certainly entertaining reading. viii, 223 pp. Size: 21 x 15 cm.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Chinese Fantastics' is a collection of vivid sketches and insightful anecdotes that explore the rich cultural landscape of China during the early 20th century. Thomas Steep presents a series of vignettes that capture the essence of Chinese life, ranging from the intricacies of courtly traditio…n to the colorful reality of street-level existence. The work delves into the symbolism of the dragon, the cultural history of the pigtail, and the varied roles of common laborers, providing a multifaceted view of a society in flux. Through these pages, readers encounter a world where ancient myths intersect with the day-to-day activities of a bustling nation. Steep describes the artistry of fans, the legends surrounding the Empress Dowager, and the peculiar customs that fascinated Western observers of the era. 'Chinese Fantastics' serves as both a travelogue and a cultural study, offering a unique perspective on the sights, sounds, and spirits of a China long since transformed. This work remains a valuable resource for those interested in Asian history, folklore, and the art of descriptive travel writing, preserving the atmospheric charm of its subjects with keen observation and literary flair.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
