{"product_id":"9781602351288","title":"Au Japon: The Memoirs of a Foreign Correspondent in Japan, Korea, and China, 1892-1894","description":"\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Nonfiction. Memoir. East Asia Studies. Translated from the French by Daniel Kane. In what was by all appearances a relatively short life, Amedee Baillot de Guerville was by turns an instructor of French at a women's college, a newspaper and magazine owner and editor, Honorary Commissioner for the World's Columbian Exhibition, popular lecturer, war correspondent, author, and general \"globe-trotter.\" Immigrating to the United States as a very young man in the 1880s, de Guerville gained his widest fame as a New York based correspondent and lecturer in the 1890s, before returning to his native France in 1898. In AU JAPON (1904), de Guerville recounts with mostly comical gaze--and perhaps a touch of imagination--his experiences in the Far East during the years 1892 and 1894. As the author himself confesses, \"each of us sees things in our own way.\" After a century, that of Monsieur de Guerville is worth rediscovering.","brand":"Parlor Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031205593328,"sku":"9781602351288","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781602351288_p0.jpg?v=1763825657","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781602351288","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
