From Sea to Sea Letters of Travel Part 2Legacy of Great Minds 449
조셉 러디어드 키플링Leaving India, Kipling travels across the Indian Ocean to the Far East, immersing himself in the cultures of China and Japan. He marvels at the bustling trade ports, ancient temples, and the disciplined lifestyles of the people he encounters. While acknowledging the beauty and traditions of these lands, he also critiques the growing influence of Western imperialism. In Japan, he observes a society balancing its deep-rooted customs with the rapid modernization of the Meiji era. He contrasts the orderly, structured nature of Japanese society with the more chaotic and diverse atmosphere of British India. His writings capture a world in transition, where global powers compete for influence while local traditions persist.
