Sobre IBD

The Awakening of China is a historical book written by William Alexander Parsons Martin and published in 1907. The book explores the transformation of China from an isolated and backward nation to a modern and powerful country at the turn of the 20th century. Martin, who was a medical missionary in China for over 50 years, provides a firsthand account of the political, social, and economic changes that occurred during this period. He discusses the impact of the Opium War, the Boxer Rebellion, and the introduction of Western technology and ideas on Chinese society. Martin also examines the role of Christianity in China’s awakening and the challenges that the country faced as it struggled to modernize while maintaining its cultural identity. The Awakening of China is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of China and the factors that shaped its development into a global power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
