Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Charm of the Middle Kingdom The lady was wearing a scarlet skirt with a very long coat of the same material when the boy first saw her. She was standing on the brink of the Grand Canon, watching the sun splash the stone battleship with every conceivable color, but mostly red, a hue only less brilliant than her skirt. The boy was on the brink of the Canon, too. He was prone on his stomach, dipping his head into nearly immeasurable depths, for he had just loosened a rock from the shelving where he lay, and was watching it fall, and afterwards, when it had merged with the reddish brown of the landscape, listening for its impingement on the cliffs below. Finally, after his experiment, for it was an experiment and reminiscent of the days when he had wrestled with the vagaries of falling bodies, the boy stood up, his face aglow with appreciation of the rich panorama that stretched before him. He was standing perilously near the edge of the world, for that was what it amounted to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
