London24 x 15 1934 Victor Gollancz Ltd, Hardcover 1st Edition
Hardcover, 24 x 16 cm, 486 pp., English, 1st Edition, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. This book is the famous memoir by Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston, who served from 1919 to 1924 as the private tutor and advisor to Puyi, the last emperor of China. First published in 1934 by Victor Gollancz Ltd., the book provides a unique eyewitness account of the final years of the Qing Dynasty within the walls of the imperial palace. rnThe work is more than just a portrait of the emperor; it is an extensive history of a turbulent era in China: rnAs one of only two foreigners allowed into the "Inner Court," Johnston provides detailed descriptions of palace ritualssuch as Puyi's weddingand the political intrigues of the time.rnJohnston was a great admirer of Chinese culture and an advocate for a constitutional monarchy based on the British model. He was critical of the young Republic of China and often defended the interests of the imperial family.rnThe book features a preface written by Puyi himself (dated 1931) and covers key events including the 1911 Revolution and the emperor's ultimate expulsion from the Forbidden City in 1924. rnThe linen binding is discoloured. Light foxing on the first and last pages. Corners bumpedrn
