  • Wah Sing, Our Little Chinese Cousin

    Helen L. Campbell

    Paperback (Leopold Classic Library, Oct. 26, 2015)
    About the Book During China's Tang and Song dynasty, famous poets such as Li Bai wrote works of great importance. These were shī poems, which have lines with equal numbers of characters, as well as cí poems, which are a mixed line variety. Early-Modern Japanese literature (17th–19th centuries) developed comparable forms such as haiku, which was Japanese poetry that evolved from the ancient hokku mode. Original haiku masters included the Edo period poet Matsuo Bashō, and others influenced by Bashō include Kobayashi Issa and Masaoka Shiki. Also in this Book Written records about the history of China date from 1250 BC in the Shang dynasty. Subsequent ancient Chinese dynasties were the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC), the Spring and Autumn period (722–476 BC) and Warring States period (476–221 BC). Imperial China encapsulated the: Qin dynasty (221–207 BC), Han dynasty (202 BC–AD 220), Three Kingdoms (AD 220–280), Jin dynasty (AD 266–420), Northern and Southern dynasties (AD 420–589), Sui dynasty (581–618), Tang dynasty (AD 618–907), Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (AD 907–960), Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia dynasties (AD 960–1234), Yuan dynasty (AD 1271–1368), Ming dynasty (AD 1368–1644), Qing dynasty (AD 1644–1911). Subsequently, there was the Republic of China, which was partly occupied by Imperial Japan between 1931 to 1945, and the Civil War that resulted in the Communist People's Republic of China in 1949. And in this Book China has a significant and growing industry. The rate of tourism has greatly expanded over the last few decades since the beginning of reform and opening. The emergence of a newly rich middle class and an easing of restrictions on movement by the Chinese authorities are both fueling this travel boom. China has become one of the world's most-watched and hottest inbound and outbound tourist markets. According to Xinhuanet, world is on the cusp of a sustained Chinese tourism boom. Between 1949 and 1974, the People's Republic was closed to all but selected foreign visitors. In the late 1970s, when Deng Xiaoping decided to promote tourism vigorously as a means of earning foreign exchange, China started to develop its tourist industry.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

  • Story of Little Jan the Dutch Boy

    Helen L. Campbell

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Nov. 28, 2017)
    Excerpt from Darkness and Daylight, or Lights and Shadows of New York Life: A Woman's Narrative of Mission Work in Tough Places, With Personal Experiences Among the Poor, the Homeless, the Vicious and the Depraved in the Great Under-World of New YorkWhen the manuscripts of these joint authors were placed in the publishers' hands, they for the first time realized the great importance of the work they had undertaken. In genuine interest and graphic description it exceeded anything they had hoped for, and their estimate of its worth grew with closer ex amination. The original plan of the book included but a few full-page illustrations; but the sterling character of the work as revealed by reading the manuscript, its authenticity, incontro vertible facts, and startling revelations, - led the publishers to believe that it ought to be illustrated with more than common fullness and in the most truthful and realistic manner. But how could this be accomplished?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
