Publisher's Synopsis
""China and the Western World"" is a collection of essays and articles written by Lafcadio Hearn, a Greek-Irish writer who spent much of his life in Japan and became an expert on East Asian culture. The book offers Hearn's observations and insights on the relationship between China and the Western world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of significant political and social change in both regions. Hearn discusses topics such as the Opium Wars, the Boxer Rebellion, and the impact of Western imperialism on Chinese society, as well as Chinese art, literature, and philosophy. Through his writing, Hearn seeks to bridge the gap between East and West and promote a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. The book is a fascinating exploration of a pivotal moment in world history and the complex interactions between two vastly different cultures.THIS 62 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Karma and Other Stories and Essays, by Lafcadio Hearn.
