| Summary | "The Critic in the Orient" by George Hamlin Fitch is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work features a collection of the author’s impressions from his extensive travels through various parts of Asia, particularly Japan and other regions of the Orient. Fitch, a seasoned literary critic, employs his keen eye and experience, usually reserved for evaluating literature, to explore and illuminate the cultural and social landscapes of the places he visits. The opening of the book sets the stage for a series of observations that Fitch gathers during his travels across the Orient. He introduces his journey as a critical exploration, reflecting on his expectations and the realities he encounters. Fitch shares his first impressions of Japan, highlighting the vibrancy and industriousness of its people in contrast to Western conventions. His detailed observations encompass various aspects of Japanese life, from labor practices to cultural ceremonies, revealing the deep respect and admiration he develops for the nation’s artistry, spirituality, and social norms. Through his lens, readers begin to appreciate the rich tapestry of life in the Orient, as Fitch candidly discusses his shifts in perception about the Japanese and their way of life.
