About This Novel
As a travelogue, "On the Chinese Screen" records what Maugham saw, heard, thought and felt when he traveled to China around 1920, as well as the life scenes of some foreigners in China at that time. This book is accumulated from original writing materials. It is Maugham's fragmentary "sketches" of China in the 1920s. It presents China a hundred years ago in the eyes of the British writer, just like returning to the historical scene through a mirror. At the same time, the book includes precious photos taken by the American social economist and photographer Gamble when he lived in China. Combining pictures and texts, you can experience the Chinese customs in the eyes of foreigners a hundred years ago.
