The Silent Traveller in Edinburgh by Chiang Yee
Chiang Yee was, in his own words, ‘dazzled’ by the Scottish capital. From the Meadows to Princes Street, from Arthur’s Seat to Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle, he paints an unforgettable picture of the city and its people in the 1940s. Writing with wry humour, he broadens our perspective of familiar sights and customs, introduces us to Confucian philosophy and Chinese poetry, corrects cultural misconceptions, and encourages us to appreciate life.'Chiang Yee finds beauty in the dreariest of rainstorms and opens his readers’ eyes to alternative perspectives on the city of Edinburgh'
* Scottish Field *'A beautifully illustrated book'
* Edinburgh Life *'You’ll never have read anything quite like it about the cityChiang Yee was as much of an outsider as it’s possible to imagine and he took a consistently benign and gently humorous approach to his subject. Prepare to see Edinburgh in a way you’ve never seen it before'
* Undiscovered Scotland *'a must read snapshot of the city's past'
* Waterstones Recommends *Chiang Yee, the self-styled 'Silent Traveller' was a Chinese poet, author, painter and calligrapher. His Silent Traveller series spanned a dozen cities across three continents.
