Dusk in the Forbidden City (looking at China Through Western Eyes)

About This Novel

"Twilight in the Forbidden City" describes Johnston's indissoluble bond with China during the special years from 1919 to 1924 at the peak of his life. In the book, Johnston describes a unique picture of life in the strange and closed world of the Forbidden City. Johnston was well versed in Chinese history and culture, so the rich historical details of that almost forgotten era emerged from his writing like a claw in the mud. In addition, his close relationship with Puyi and his personal familiarity with many important figures of that era made Johnston's comments more lively and interesting.
