Twilight in the Forbidden City
"Twilight in the Forbidden City" is a compelling and emotionally-charged book that offers a deep insight into the final years of the Qing Dynasty in China. The author, Reginald Fleming Johnston, was an Englishman who served as a tutor to the last Emperor of China, Pu Yi. Through his personal experiences and observations, Johnston brings to life the fascinating and often tragic events that occurred within the walls of the Forbidden City. The book is lauded for its gripping storytelling and the way it transports readers back to a tumultuous period in Chinese history.

Readers appreciated the author's ability to shed light on the inner workings of the Forbidden City and the power dynamics that shaped the destiny of an entire nation. Although there were a few reviews in different languages that could not be fully understood, the majority of readers expressed positive opinions about the book.
