I thought I knew something about the Great Wall in China, having read several books about it, including several by Mr. Lindesay. But everything in this new book gives a new perspective, a level of detail about the Great Wall and its history. Great job, Mr. Lindesay!||
"Lindesay has a knack for approaching the iconic Great Wall of China in ways that are creative, idiosyncratic, and deeply personal . . . He has succeeded again." —Peter Hessler, author, Oracle Bone
From the survey beforehand to the foundations, the core, and eventually the ruins, this book explores the majesty of the Wall through the objects it has inspired such as the appearance of the Wall in Ortelius’ atlas of the world to the unexpected origins of ‘wolf smoke’, proliferation of the blunderbuss in the 15th century Great Wall theatre of war, and Kafka’s classic short story "At the Building of the Great Wall".
