Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises three works: two of the journals are from the author's travels along the coast of China, while the third is an essay introducing the collection. The traveler, Mr. Gutzlaff, is a missionary whose unique position enabled him to gather first-hand accounts of the Chinese people, their religions, and their politics. These are reflected on in the third work, an introduction by the esteemed missionary, Rev. W. Ellis. The book offers a rare insight into China as it was two centuries ago, with detailed descriptions of the day-to-day interactions and tensions between Chinese, British, and American merchants. An engaging blend of travelogue and historical record, the book will fascinate anyone interested in the complex interplay of cultures and the often uneasy relationship between East and West.
