Confucianism and Modern China: The Lewis Fry Memorial Lectures, 1933-34, Delivered at Bristol University
ISBN: 9781108080361 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The British colonial administrator and scholar Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston (1874-1938) travelled extensively in the Far East, developing a deep interest in Chinese culture and spirituality.

Well acquainted with the philosophy of Confucius, Johnston had happily quoted the Confucian classics in his court judgments at Weihaiwei. In 1918, he was appointed tutor to the young Puyi (1906-67), who had been China's last emperor before his...

Twilight in the Forbidden City
ISBN: 9781108029650 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 572 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

"In these lectures I will endeavour to justify the faith that is in me and to explain the grounds on which I base my belief that Confucianism is still a living force among the Chinese people and has a message of great value for the China of the present and future and provide and answer to the question "What is Confucianism? If we wish to form an adequate idea of Confucianism we must make an effort to look at it from within, and to approximate as closely as possible to the standpoint of those who are themselves among the loyal guardians of the great Confucian heritage." -Reginald Fleming...

Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston (1874 1938) was a colonial administrator and oriental scholar. He travelled extensively in the Far East and developed a deep interest in Chinese culture and religion.

From Peking to Mandalay
ISBN: 9780968045978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This fascinating journey details the local traditions and characteristics of a China that has since disappeared. With tales of the mystic temples and monasteries, stories of a 1000 year old monk, and areas not yet open to the modern railway or airplane, Johnston's writings could easily have been the inspiration for James Hilton's Lost Horizon. Johnston, who eventually became tutor to the boy emperor, was district officer and magistrate of Wei-hai-wei, and was well qualified, both linguistically and by travel in other parts of China, to undertake the expedition described in the present work....
