About This Item
US: Mercat Pr, 2005. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. The Silent Traveller in Lakeland is the first of the Silent Traveller serie s and one of Chiang Yee's most personal and moving books. Chiang visited the English Lakes in the 1930s, following a particularly cla ustrophobic period in the 'smoky and foggy atmosphere' of London. Amid the tranquility of Wastwater, Windermere and Crummockwater and the grandeur of Scafell, his search for peace contrasts starkly with the conflict in China and the impending European war. Deeply sensitive to the relationship betwee n man and his environment, Chiang's views on society, conflict and solitude are both poignant and perceptive. Illustrated with the author's delicate monochromes of Lakeland scenes, painted in traditional Chinese style with brush, ink, and soft paper, this edition has a new foreword by Da Zheng, Associate Professor of English at Suffolk University, Massachusetts.
