The lost world luminously recalled here by Lascelle de Basily encompasses a charmed past in which she traveled and resided in countries on four continents—a past studded with piquant adventures, with countless moments of sheer joy, with terror-filled days and nights during the Russian Revolution, with meetings and friendships with notables of many nationalities. Whether she is describing the tulmutuous events or quiet pleasures, the lyricism of her prose matches that of her poetry. Among her kaleidoscopic impressions is an evocation of an enchanted childhood that is in refreshing contrast to the horrendous early days recorded by so many contemporary writers. Particularly delightful and unusual are Lascelle de Basily's recollections of days of youth spent in a remote northern province of Korea. In a book filled with a love of people and places, it is Lascelle de Basily's measureless love for her husband, Nicolas, a Diplomat of Imperial Russia, that suffuses the whole. She has led a life and been enfolded in a love that for most of us could be but a dream. In fact, she herself ponders whether the life she so poignantly described here is truly a lost world. Yet, as these pages reveal, Lascelle de Basily, unlike so many of us, whatever our circumstances, has never lost one of the most precious things in life—a sense of wonder.

Memoirs of a Chinese Revolutionary

Sun Yat-Sen's chief legacy is his development of a political philosophy known as the "Three Principles of the People." In his own words, this Chinese statesman and revolutionary leader chronicles his fight to establish a republic of China based upon those three principles: nationalism, democracy, and socialism. Originally published in 1918, seven years after the founding of the Chinese Republic, this memoir stresses the necessity of positive action in building the young nation. The author examines the causes of China's stagnation, expounds his theory that "Action is easy; knowledge is difficult," and outlines a program for national reconstruction. This work is an important tool in understanding the course of events in China in the late twentieth century. Sun Yat-sen (1866-1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader. His leadership and teachings were a driving force in the development of the Chinese Republic and he is frequently referred to as the Father of the Nation.
