descriptif du fournisseur
"Across China on Foot" by Edwin John Dingle is a detailed account of the author's ambitious journey through China, undertaken in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with Dingle's departure from Singapore, driven by a desire to witness the transformation of China from within. The journey takes him from the bustling port of Shanghai, through the strategic and industrial hub of Hankow, and into the heart of the Yangtze Gorges. Dingle's observations provide a vivid portrayal of the Chinese landscape, culture, and the socio-political changes occurring at the time. The book is divided into two main sections, with the first focusing on the journey from the Straits to Shanghai and the second detailing the arduous trek through the Yangtze Gorges to Chung-king. Dingle's writing captures the grandeur and challenges of navigating the Yangtze River, with its formidable rapids and breathtaking gorges. His reflections on the Chinese people, their customs, and the nation's potential for reform offer valuable insights into the era's geopolitical climate. Despite the physical hardships and cultural barriers, Dingle's journey is marked by a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and resilience of the Chinese people. The narrative is enriched by Dingle's encounters with missionaries, local inhabitants, and the diverse tribes of Yün-nan, providing a comprehensive view of China's interior during a period of significant change.
