The Human Cobweb: A Romance of Peking is a novel written by B.L. Putnam Weale. Set in early 20th century Peking (now Beijing), the book tells the story of a young British diplomat named Roger Leyton who falls in love with a Chinese woman named Hsuan-yuan. Despite cultural and societal differences, the two embark on a passionate romance that is threatened by political unrest and the looming threat of war. As Leyton becomes more involved in the political affairs of Peking, he must navigate his loyalty to his country and his love for Hsuan-yuan. Along the way, the novel explores themes of love, loyalty, cultural clashes, and the impact of war on individuals and societies.
