Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Chinaman at Home: Sketches of Men, Manners and Things in China "If the time should ever come, as come it may, when the far-distant West comes into close and practical competition with the patient Chinese for the right to exist, one or other will be behindhand in the race, and it is safe to venture the prediction that it will not be the Chinese!" - Village Life in China, by Arthur H. Smith, D. D. "You are all too anxious to awake us and to start us on a new road, and you will do it; but you will all regret it, for, once awaked and started we shall go fast and far - farther than you think - much farther than you want!" - Wên Hsiang (a celebrated Prime Minister of China). "When China is moved it will change the face of the globe." - Napoleon, at St. Helena "To me they are the most remarkable race on earth, and I have always thought and still believe them to be the great coming rulers of the world." - Lord Wolseley About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
