Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In Lotus-Land Japan This book is written by a nomad who has worshipped at the shrine of Nature and Art in many lands; who has spent nearly three happy years in one of the most delightful of holiday lands and who served as a Correspondent with the First Japanese Army during the war with Russia. In it will be found no dissertations on politics economics or social problems; and he who seeks information concerning Japan´s vast textile manufactures statistics of her progress or of the rapid growth of her military and naval mighty will search its pages in vain. This volume is intended primarily as a guide-book for the traveller; and secondly as a means - to those who are unable to roam so far away - to explore a beautiful country through the medium of the lens and observations of one whose camera and note-book have been his inseparable companions in all his wanderings o´er the earth. During his travels in Lotus-Land the author´s experiences were so many and varied that in writing the book the most perplexing problem has been what to leave out of it so as to keep its size within reasonable limits. Descriptions of many interesting places and incidents have had perforce to be omitted but in what has been included herein will be found some account of much that is best about Japan; and in the hope of bringing some fresh aspects of the country into focus the writer has narrated experiences which he had far from the "beaten tracks." When this book was first published the author was preparing to embark for the Antarctic as a member of the late Captain R. F. Scott´s South Pole Expedition and it appeared on the day the Expedition sailed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
