Excerpt from The Judgment of the Orient: Some Reflections on the Great War Made By, the Chinese Student and Traveller, K'ung Yuan
Contemplative. But all change is not progress, and the restless West is now at war. What does that signify if not that the theory and practice of Western civilization have broken down and that progressive Europe has reverted to the conditions of a primitive and savage era? The only feature which pleases in the cataclysm is that every Western nation recognizes equally that a monstrous crime has been committed. It matters not that they agree on little else and that each belligerent group is desperately eager to fasten the entire guilt on its antagonists.

Excerpt from The Judgment of the Orient: Some Reflections on the Great War Made By, the Chinese Student and Traveller, K'ung Yuan
Wheresoever I have wandered in the Occident I have found the peoples earnestly seeking to discover whom a remote posterity shall blame for the Great War. It is very strange to a simple Oriental that the subtle and cultivated minds of Europeans should be interested in the judgment of their probable grandchildren.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of World War I through the lens of a simple Oriental philosopher traveling through Europe before the war. The author presents a unique perspective, arguing that the war was not simply a conflict between nations but a reflection of deeper psychological and cultural differences between the East and West. The author argues that the East prizes contemplation and wisdom while the West is obsessed with progress and material success. The book delves into the history and culture of Germany, England, France, and Russia, contrasting their national souls and exploring how these differences contributed to the outbreak of war. The author concludes by arguing that the war is a tragedy that could have been avoided if the nations had been more understanding of each other's cultures and values.
