Publisher's Synopsis
""The Face of Manchuria, Korea, and Russian Turkestan"" is a travelogue written by Emily Georgiana Kemp in 1911. The book provides a detailed account of her travels through these regions, describing the people, culture, and landscapes she encountered. Kemp's observations offer a unique insight into life in these regions at the turn of the 20th century. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different region. In the first section, Kemp explores Manchuria, a region in Northeast China, and describes the impact of Russian and Japanese influence on the area. The second section covers her travels through Korea, including her experiences with the Korean royal family. The final section of the book focuses on Russian Turkestan, a region in Central Asia, where Kemp describes the diverse ethnic groups and their customs. Overall, ""The Face of Manchuria, Korea, and Russian Turkestan"" is a fascinating account of a woman's travels through some of the most remote and exotic regions of Asia at a time when few Westerners had ventured there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
