The First World War is in full swing. Fierce battles are taking place at the front, while in the rear a secret confrontation between European intelligence services is unfolding, into which a writer recruited by the British secret service finds himself drawn. Ashenden is an ideal candidate for intelligence work, he is observant, calm and seemingly harmless, speaks several European languages, and his profession can serve as an ideal cover. Ashenden, changing one guise after another, without attracting attention, visits different countries, obtains and transmits information, accompanies and recruits agents.

Etudes "On the Chinese Screen" - a colorful kaleidoscope of fascinating stories about life in the East. These witty notes reveal the full depth of the mysterious Chinese civilization: here there is a place for lost places on the great Yangtze River, and an unusual colorful culture, and a subtle oriental mentality.
