China and the Chinese

Very interesting window into the baffling language and a terrific introduction that is a window into an enormous country, people, culture and history. Links with ancient Greece intriguing. Outdated and sometimes judgmental, it's a good little book that possible says as much about the West 120 years ago as it does about China and the Chinese 1000 years ago. Worth a read, for sure.
