Book Overview

Pioneering Where The World Is Old: Leaves From A Manchurian Notebook is a book written by Alice Tisdale, originally published in 1917. The book is a collection of essays and observations based on Tisdale's experiences living in Manchuria during the early 20th century. Tisdale was a pioneering American journalist and writer who travelled to Manchuria in 1911, at a time when the region was largely unknown to the Western world. She spent several years living and working in the area, and her book provides a fascinating insight into the people, culture, and landscape of this remote corner of the world.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of life in Manchuria. Tisdale writes about her encounters with local people, including the nomadic tribes who lived in the region, as well as the Chinese and Russian settlers who were beginning to colonize the area. She also writes about the natural beauty of the region, including the vast plains, rugged mountains, and dense forests that make up the landscape.Throughout the book, Tisdale reflects on the challenges and rewards of living in such a remote and unfamiliar place. She writes about the difficulties of adapting to a new culture and language, as well as the joys of discovering new foods, customs, and traditions. She also reflects on the impact of Western colonization on the region, and the tensions that existed between different groups of people living in Manchuria.Overall, Pioneering Where The World Is Old is a fascinating and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on life in early 20th century Manchuria. Tisdale's writing is vivid and engaging, and her observations and reflections provide a valuable historical record of a region and a time that is now largely forgotten.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
