Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bells of the Blue Pagoda: The Strange Enchantment of a Chinese Doctor It is no easy task to portray the life of a foreign land; with all the will in the world the writer is an outsider and often fails to realize the significance of some time-honored custom. All that the author can do is to try to catch the spirit of the country as best he may and the only recipe that one can give to him is that he should love the people and the country; otherwise he is doomed to failure. In this love there must he no lack of sincerity and one must endeavor to draw his characters as true to life as he would in writing of his own people. This story is an attempt to catch the atmosphere and some of the poetry of China; for that reason the author has adhered to the Chinese custom of calling the characters and places by the picturesque names given as a matter of course in that country. Little Small-Feet, the Great Helpful Lady, and Old Scarred Face are examples of this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
