Bag om The Dead Past

The Fourth Edition of The Dead Past, with corrections, double the number of footnotes, and a revised and expanded introduction. The Dead Past is the extraordinary last memoir of the oriental scholar, author and eccentric Sir Edmund Trelawny Backhouse.

Over 70 years after being written, Alchemie Books brings it into print for the first time.
