Anmerkung
Publisher description: From the time of Marco Polo, Peking has held a fascination for travellers and has been an inspiration to those who lived there. This nostalgic collection of quotations, quips, anecdotes and descriptions conveys the spirit, atmosphere, society, art, and architecture of Beijing from the fourteenth century to the end of the Quing dynasty. The contributors range from missionaries, traders, and diplomats to famous visitors such as Somerset Maugham, George Bernard Shaw, and Bertrand Russell. Readership: General. Visitors to China; armchair travellers; residents (especially foreign) of Beijing; anyone who enjoys literary curiosities.
