Three Wise Men of the East

by Elizabeth Bisland

Book Overview

The author's wide travel in the Orient and her study of all available resources have combined to produce the three fascinating stories told here - the lives of three oriental geniuses: Shah Jahan, artist-emperor of India; Chien Lung, Manchu emperor of China; and Hideyoshi, a delightful parvenu and unselfish patriot of Japan. The author demonstrates great sensitivity to the distinguishing national characteristics and inner spirit of the countries themselves.
