Fusang

Or, The discovery of America by Chinese Buddhist Priests in the Fifth Century

Beschreibung

This book, first published in 1875 and reissued in 1973, analyses the evidence from the works of Chinese historians that explorers from China had discovered a country they called Fusang - western America, in all probability Mexico. The basis for their accounts was the report of Hoei-shin.

Autor

Charles Godfrey Leland (August 15, 1824 - March 20, 1903) was an American humorist and folklorist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Princeton University and in Europe. Leland worked in journalism, travelled extensively, and became interested in folklore and folk linguistics, publishing books and articles on American and European languages and folk traditions. Leland worked in a wide variety of trades, achieved recognition as the author of the comic Hans Breitmann's Ballads, fought in two conflicts, and wrote what was to become a primary source text for Neopaganism half a century later, Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches.
