The Silent Traveller Bilingual Edition comprises three volumes: London, Lakeland and Edinburgh. The books present an Oriental perspective on Britain, with the author juxtaposing British scenery and culture against Chinese parallels. Written in a humorous, concise style that blends Eastern and Western sensibilities, the work evokes the relaxed charm of Chinese painting and calligraphy while vividly and delicately capturing scenes of British life and its diverse inhabitants.
