Description

Green gilt-stamped original cloth very good, [105]p., each page illustrated in b.w. with his drawings. Sketches on the life and work of a large segment of Taiwan's burgeoning population, showing life before the power tiller, the taxicab, factories etc., it is this timelessness that emerges from Kuo's characters to delight the reader unfamiliar with Chinese culture & to excite fond reminiscences from those who have been exposed to it. From pre-dawn, through the travels of the sun across the sky, until after the sun sets, Kuo describes and depicts his Taiwan. Kuo gained notoriety with his Formosan Vignette series in the China Post.
