С этой книжкой произошел прикольный случай. Мы летели в Шанхай, я сижу, читаю. А мой попутчик у меня спрашивает, что читаю. Я думаю, не буду особо выпендриваться и говорить название, и сказала – да так, про нравы англичан 18 века. Он так поморщился и говорит: «А-а-а, историческая значит». Я: «Ага» :)))
В целом книжка конечно же интересная – про китайца Лян Чи Альтанчжи, который приехал в Англию изучать местные нравы, про то, как он сравнивает местные обычаи со своими, китайскими, и ведет переписку со своими друзьями на востоке. Книга очень огромная, у меня читалка висла наверное неделю, пока я не сообразила, что это от этой книжки. Очень, очень полезно и познавательно. А главное – с юмором :))) Так что советую, для развлечения и не только.

Lots of good fun in this book of witty criticism of the habits and foibles of 18th century English society. I confess some of it went over my head. Sure would be nice to discover a source of analysis and explanation.
Still, I enjoyed it.
