visão geral
Isabella Bird was one of the greatest travelers and travel writers of all time， and this is her last major book， a sympathetic look at inland China and beyond into Tibet at the end of the 19th century. In describing the journey， Isabella provides a rich mix of observations and describes two occasions when she is almost killed by anti-foreign mobs. It many ways， Isabella created the model for travel writing today， and this one of her greatest works.
