Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Japan for a Week (Britain for Ever) To see Japan thoroughly, to master its problems, to probe its soul, to pluck the whole heart of its mystery, probably needs, as a fellow globe-trotter assured me, "all of a fortnight." Our time in the country was even less than that; for our exploring party - in quest of "local colour" for the Japanese play to succeed The Arcadians at the Shaftesbury Theatre - was under the guidance and control of my friend and sometime collaborator, Robert Courtneidge, a restless soul who, if he had accompanied Peary in his Arctic expedition, would have reached the North Pole with watch in one hand and timetable in the other, to announce that there was a train to the South Pole in a quarter of an hour, and, "Can you fellows be ready to catch it?" That was how he rushed us through Germany, Russia, Siberia, and Japan; and that accounts for the deplorable absence of statistics with which I might otherwise have proved the misstatements appearing in this work.
