8vo, br. ed, Paperback. The first treaty ports in China were opened in 1843. Here, for nearly a century, foreign traders ruled their own settlements, administered their own laws, controlled their own police forces and ran the customs service. Despite typhoons, disease, banditry and riots, merchants and missionary families in the treaty ports led as far as possible a foreign life. In 1943 the treaty ports were returned to China and most of their inhabitants interned by the Japanese. Yet the record of their residency remains in Shanghai's solid office buildings, in Tientsin's mock Tudor facades, and in the Edwardian villas of Peitaiho and Amoy. The last inhabitants of the treaty ports are also still alive: through their reminiscences and the accounts of their predecessors Frances Wood recalls a foreign life lived in a foreign land. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
World War I came at an inopportune time for China. The country had joined a number of international organizations and ratified the Hague Conventions, but found its diplomatic efforts hampered by its young, inexperienced leadership, its factional regional divisions, and its foreign-controlled treaty ports and concessions. Unfortunately for the Chinese, representatives of combatant nations navigated a diplomatic tightrope between carrying out their patriotic duty to support war efforts and making sure their "hosts", the Chinese, did not take advantage of the turbulence to upset the colonial pecking order.

8vo, hardcover in dj, 283pp., b/w. illus. For centuries, Western writers, historians, and intellectuals have been fascinated by China. In this remarkable book, Frances Wood shows how China influenced literature, memoir, and travel writing from vague Roman tales of silent silk merchants and medieval travelers such as Marco Polo, to Jesuit explorers, French poets, the Bloomsbury Group, and eyewitness accounts of war by Martha Gellhorn, Christopher Isherwood, and J.G. Ballard. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of the role of China in Western literature and culture. Frances Wood is the best-selling author of Did Marco Polo Go to China?, The Silk Road, The Forbidden City, and The First Emperor. About the Author: Frances Wood is the author of "Did Marco Polo go to China"; "The Silk Road"; "The Forbidden City"; and "The First Emperor." She is Curator of the Chinese collections in the British Library.

8vo, br. ed. 220pp. "Anche se siamo lontani, la nostra ricerca di democrazia e di libertà è la stessa. Vi prego di stare con Hong Kong, perché la nostra lotta non è ancora finita." Questa battaglia è cominciata anni fa, quando Joshua Wong era un adolescente. Mentre gli adulti stavano in silenzio, Joshua organizzò la prima protesta studentesca nella storia di Hong Kong per opporsi alla riforma dell'istruzione voluta dal governo filocinese. Da allora, ha guidato la Rivolta degli ombrelli, il grande movimento di resistenza pacifica al braccio sempre più lungo di Pechino sull'ex colonia britannica. Ha fondato un partito politico, Demosist?, e ha attirato l'attenzione della comunità internazionale sulle proteste contro l'ingerenza della Cina nell'autonomia della città. Più di due milioni di persone sono scese nelle piazze e nelle strade di Hong Kong. Joshua è stato ripetutamente in carcere. Per la prima volta racconta la sua storia, che fa rumore ovunque nel mondo e, soprattutto, è la testimonianza di una battaglia che ci riguarda da vicino. La sua è la lotta della libertà contro la censura e dei valori democratici contro il titanismo totalitario della Cina. Joshua Wong è un ribelle ed è un testimone straordinario della sua generazione, perché è ispirato da ideali che portano alla nascita di diritti nuovi. I diritti, infatti, non stanno fermi. La loro area non è definita per sempre. Le trasformazioni della società comportano nuove domande. Ed è proprio questa la trama della democrazia. Una democrazia sempre a rischio, in Oriente come in Occidente. La battaglia di Hong Kong è anche la nostra. Restare in silenzio non è più possibile.

8vo, hardcover, Woei Lien Chong (Editor), Anne-Marie Brady (Contributor), Lowell Dittmer (Contributor), Monika Gaenssbauer (Contributor), Nick Knight (Contributor), Stefan R. Landsberger (Contributor), Nora Sausmikat (Contributor), Barend J. ter Haar (Contributor), Treating China s Cultural Revolution as much more than a political event, this innovative volume explores its ideological dimensions. The contributors focus especially on the CR s discourse of heroism and messianism and its demonization of the enemy as reflected in political practice, official literature, and propaganda art, arguing that these characteristics can be traced back to hitherto-neglected undercurrents of Chinese tradition. Moreover, while most studies of the Cultural Revolution are content to point to the discredited cult of heroism and messianism, this book also explores the alternative discourses that have flourished to fill the resulting vacuum. The contributors analyze the intense intellectual and artistic ferment in post-Mao China that embody resistance to CR ideology, as well as the urgent quest for authentic individuality, new forms of social cohesion, and historical truth.
