Amédée Baillot de Guerville

Au Japon (eBook, ePUB)

The Memoirs of a Foreign Correspondent in Japan, Korea, and China, 1892-1894

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In AU JAPON (1904), de Guerville recounts with mostly comical gaze-and perhaps a touch of imagination-his experiences in the Far East during the years 1892 and 1894. As the author himself confesses, "each of us sees things in our own way." After a century, that of Monsieur de Guerville is worth rediscovering. In addition to translating the original French, DANIEL C. KANE provides a thorough introduction, a glossary of key figures, a chronology of de Guerville's publications, and an index.
