The second of several Japanese-set novels by this author a British diplomat and Foreign Office official who spent most of the 1920s stationed in Asia and per Wikipedia "was a significant influence on the British foreign policy in the Far East in the early 20th century." Per the jacket blurb both his first two books the previous one was "Kimono" were "bitterly assailed by sentimental orientalists who allege that the coldly realistic picture Mr. Paris paints of Japanese life is libellous but it is significant that Far-Eastern English journals have been unanimously enthusiastic about Mr. Paris's accuracy and insight." The book concerns a young English priest who marries a Japanese woman. It should be noted that the book is unrelated to the later novel of the same name by James Michener which was adapted for a Hollywood movie in 1957 even though the two books share the theme of interracial romance. .

N.p. but possibly Paris 1875. Forty engraved plates. Folio. Contemporary green half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Spine faded. Lightly rubbed at extremities. Bookplate on front pastedown. First plate lightly age- toned. Some very minor scattered foxing else bright and clean internally. Very good. A volume of engravings depicting the voyage of the ship Bellone and seafaring life. Following the "title" plate which is numbered 21 are scenes of Africa primarily in Senegal. These plates depict the natives villages and cities. After the scenes of Africa are plates depicting maritime life evidently on a French naval vessel in the Atlantic. These images are much more delicately engraved and are not numbered. The first few of these detail a "day in the life" of a sailor from morning muster and breakfast through scrubbing the deck and inspection and shore leave. Two plates of Uruguay and two unidentified landscapes are also inexplicably inserted in the midst of this sequence. An interesting and perhaps unique compilation of travel and maritime images. hardcover books
