Hard. Second Impression. Far Eastern Agent, or The Diary of an Eastern Nobody is a memoir and travel narrative by Donald Moore, first published in 1954. The book recounts Moore's experiences in the Far East, combining personal observation with anecdotal and often humorous reflections on life as a European resident in Asia.Written in the form of a diary, the work offers insight into the daily routines, social encounters, and challenges faced by an expatriate navigating colonial and post-colonial societies. Moore provides vivid sketches of local customs, politics, and personalities, while also exploring the practical difficulties of life abroad, from bureaucratic frustrations to the quirks of regional culture.The narrative is accessible and entertaining, blending reportage with memoir and social commentary. Far Eastern Agent captures the perspective of an individual observer, highlighting both the absurdities and the subtleties of life in the Far East. It remains a valuable example of mid-twentieth-century expatriate writing, offering both historical insight and literary charm.Some discolouration on the endpapers. Asia.
