Mount Omi and Beyond is Archibald John Little's account of his
travels in the Szechuan province of China. His journey took him
from Chongqing to Mount Omi and the Tibetan border. Little
professed to add nothing to the records of geographical exploration
through his work, but aimed simply to provide a 'picture of China
as it exists far removed from Western influence'. Little compares
this part of China with Europe in the middle ages - in the
colourful dress of the people, the absence of technology, and lack
of communication with the outside world. He believed that this was
a world nearing its end, as Western influences were reaching the
Chinese ports through trade. Published in London in 1901, it
contains a 'Sketch Map of Northern and Central Szechuan' and
fifteen black and white photographs. Several other books by Little
and by his intrepid wife are also reissued in this series.
