«En un biombo chino» is the travel book by William Somerset Maugham, published by Ediciones Península in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The author recounts his journey along the Yangzi River basin in the winters of 1919 and 1920, with an eye on the people he meets rather than the places. Missionaries, consuls and Western businessmen parade through his notes with irony and sensitivity, showing the difficult coexistence of European customs in the China of that era.

For readers of travel literature and for those seeking the perspective of a twentieth-century classic on Western society in China.
