The Years That Were Fat: Peking 1933-1940 By George N. Kates Paperback
9,68 €
For seven years, from 1933 to 1940, George Kates immersed himself in Chinese culture and society, consciously reconstructing the world of the vanished scholar class. Living a simple and leisurely life in a traditional Chinese house inside the old Imperial City Peking, he came to know China as few other Westerners have done. This beautifully written book is truly a celebration of Peking, of its buildings, its people, way of life and customs, its rhythms and moods - all of which were then inexorably changing or disappearing. George Kates - rare understanding of China’s cultural heritage enables him to convey to the reader the sense of harmony and proportion in all things which he so admired in China.
