Letters Back to Ancient China
A novel
Admirers of Herbert Rosendorfer will be delighted with the publication of this luxurious collector’s edition of his possibly most famous novel – a real gem for the book shelf at home and a wonderful gift. A mandarin in 10th century China relocates to the present by means of a »time travel compass«. He lands in the big modern city of Munich in Bavaria, whose German name, to his ear, sounds like Chinese: »Min-chen«, and the name of the region »Ba Yun«. Confused but curious, he throws himself into an adventure, not knowing how it will end. In his letters to a friend back in the Middle Kingdom, he writes about the peculiar lives of the »big noses« and tries to interpret observations and events he at first does not understand himself.
