Product Description

The Black-Bearded Barbarian is a book written by Marian Keith that tells the story of her journey to China during the early 20th century. The book is an autobiographical account of her experiences living in China during a time of great political and social upheaval. The story begins with Keith's arrival in China as a young woman and her subsequent marriage to a Chinese man named Liang. As she settles into her new life, Keith becomes increasingly interested in the culture and history of China and begins to explore the country's rich cultural heritage. Along the way, she encounters a number of interesting characters, including the eponymous Black-Bearded Barbarian, a mysterious man with a dark past who becomes a close friend and confidant. Through her experiences, Keith provides a unique perspective on life in China during a tumultuous period in the country's history, including the rise of communism and the Japanese invasion during World War II. The Black-Bearded Barbarian is a fascinating and engaging memoir that offers a glimpse into a world that is now largely forgotten.Early Monday morning Mackay peeped out of the big warehouse door at the great calm mountain shrouded in the pale mists of early dawn. The other two travelers were soon astir, and were surprised to find their young companion all ready. They were not yet well enough acquainted with him to know that he could do with less sleep at night than an owl.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
