- W616318468 abstract "“CITIES (like persons),” says the author of this work, “have their idiosyncrasies that, slowly revealing themselves, layer upon layer, absorb you at last into their atmosphere,” and goes on to ask what it is that the new-comer feels about Rangoon, in this particular instance, that to an inhabitant is second nature. Wherever his travels in the East have taken him, his purpose has been to seize the essentially differentiating quality in each place. He speaks of his book as a record of things seen and of things thought; but in the mind of the reader the latter will loom larger than the former, and in the retrospect, whether the author's words describe Colombo, Rangoon, Mandalay, the mining town of Kuala Lumpur, or the investiture of the Sultan of Perak with the K.C.M.G., it is their quality as an intensely personal record of impressions rather than as a statement of fact that will remain. In the end the author confesses himself baffled by the East, and its inscrutability and aloofness is perhaps the most vivid of the impressions he conveys to his readers. Mr. Joseph Conrad contributes a preface in which he discourses in characteristically alluring manner of travellers and of their works." @default.
