I read this more than 20 years ago, and it made a lasting impression. I think there is a passage in it about the Emperor of China and how he represented different things to different people depending on their distance from his court. Could anyone share a quote from this passage?

Greg Ripley Mick , must have been a different book. This one is only a few years old.
