Features: In this rich and engaging book, the Frenchman Nick Le Couteur observes China a century ago from the fresh perspective of an outsider. Through the eyes of foreigners, everything in China at that time seemed so new and unimaginable—long braids, bound feet, memorial arches, one-wheeled carts, bandits, the Four Books and Five Classics, porcelain. With a light and entertaining tone, the author vividly presents to the world the fascinating and diverse life of an ancient nation.
