With his characteristic elegance and insight, Jonathan Spence explores how the West has understood China over seven centuries. Ranging from Marco Polo's own depiction of China and the mighty Khan, Kublai, in the 1270s to the China sightings of three twentieth century writers of acknowledged genius Kafka, Borges, and Calvino Spence conveys Western thought on China
China has transfixed the West since the earliest contacts between these civilizations. With his characteristic elegance and insight, Jonathan Spence explores how the West has understood China over seven centuries. Ranging from Marco Polo's own depiction of China and the mighty Khan, Kublai, in the 1270s to the China sightings of three twentieth-century writers of acknowledged genius-Kafka, Borges, and Calvino-Spence conveys Western thought on China through a remarkable array of expression. Peopling Spence's account are Iberian adventurers, Enlightenment thinkers, spinners of the dreamy cult of Chinoiserie, and American observers such as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Ezra Pound, and Eugene O'Neill. Taken together, these China sightings tell us as much about the self-image of the West as about China. "Wonderful. . . . Spence brilliantly demonstrates how] generation after generation of Westerners have] asked themselves, 'What is it . . . that held this astonishing, diverse, and immensely populous land together?'

Love These Toner Pads
Scent: Collagen
I’ve really been enjoying these Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads! They feel super refreshing on the skin and are an easy step to add into my routine. The pads are well-soaked without being messy, and they glide on smoothly.
After using them consistently, my skin feels more hydrated and looks a bit more plump and smooth. I’ve also noticed my pores appear slightly minimized, especially around my T-zone. They’re gentle enough for daily use and don’t irritate my skin.
Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a simple way to boost hydration and improve your skin’s overall look and feel!

Finally!!
Scent: Collagen
I have had huge pores with combination oily skin and dry skin since reaching my mid 30’s and makeup made them more prominent. Since adding these to my morning routine my makeup stays smooth with my pores minimized and skin looking and feeling healthier. After trying multiple products I finally found THE ONE.

Great product

Been using this for several months and love love it. My skin is moisturized and has decreased the visibility of fine lines. This is a staple in my skin care routine.

My pores look a bit tighter and my makeup sits better after using them
Scent: Collagen
I did not expect toner pads to make this much of a difference, but these honestly surprised me. The texture is more like a soft gel than a typical cotton pad, so it feels really soothing on the skin instead of scratchy. I’ve been using them both as a quick swipe toner and also leaving them on for a few minutes like a mini mask, and my skin looks noticeably more hydrated and smooth.
What I love most is that they don’t irritate my skin at all, even on days when I’m more sensitive. My pores look a bit tighter and my makeup sits better after using them. The only downside is I go through them quickly because I like using multiple at once. Overall, they feel like a little luxury step that actually works.
