Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Benjamin Couch BC Henry was a missionary in Hong Kong and southern China in the second half of the 19th century. Yet he was much more too a keen observer, a skilled naturalist and an intrepid explorer. The bulk of his career in China was spent in what was then commonly known as Ling-nam, the Pearl River Delta and environs of Guangzhou (Canton). These excerpts of Henry's travelogue LING-NAM, published in 1886, contain one of the most detailed walking tours of Guangzhou that has survived. Similarly so his travels through the silk, tea and market garden regions adjoining the metropolis. And finally, we have Henry's ground-breaking account of his expeditions around Hainan Island in 1882, then the most extensive undertaken to date by a foreigner. Henry's portrait of southern China was built up over 20 years' work and exploration in the region and provides one of the most in-depth looks at southern Chinese life from the growth of Hong Kong, to the bustling streets of Guangzhou, to Hainan's Island of Palms. Describes the Canton, Hong Kong and remote Hainan Island of the 1880s. Written by an American missionary and educator in China who was much in demand as a speaker in the United States. Henry's journeys through the silk, tea and market garden regions of the Pearl River Delta are of interest and rarely discussed in such detail by foreign observers. Henry's expeditions to Hainan Island were the most extensive undertaken to date by a foreigner when he embarked on them in October and November 1882.…
