Book Synopsis A Century of Travels in China by : Douglas Kerr
Download or read book A Century of Travels in China written by Douglas Kerr and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writings of travelers have shaped ideas about an evolving China, while preconceived ideas about China also shaped the way they saw the country. A Century of Travels in China explores the impressions of these writers on various themes, from Chinese cities and landscapes to the work of Europeans abroad. From the time of the first Opium War to the declaration of the People's Republic, China's history has been one of extraordinary change and stubborn continuities. At the same time, the country has beguiled, scared and puzzled people in the West. The Victorian public admired and imitated Chinese fashions, in furniture and design, gardens and clothing, while maintaining a generally negative idea of the Chinese empire as pagan, backward and cruel. In the first half of the twentieth century, the fascination continued. Most foreigners were aware that revolutionary changes were taking place in Chinese politics and society, yet most still knew very little about the country. But what about those few people from the English-speaking world who had first-hand experience of the place? What did they have to say about the "real" China? To answer this question, we have to turn to the travel accounts and memoirs of people who went to see for themselves, during China's most traumatic century. While this book represents the work of expert scholars, it is also accessible to non-specialists with an interest in travel writing and China, and care has been taken to explain the critical terms and ideas deployed in the essays from recent scholarship of the travel genre.

Book excerpt: An irresistible story of a woman remaking her life after her husband's betrayal leads to a year of travel, art, and passion in Paris, from the award-winning author of This Close to Okay. Vincent, having grown up as the privileged daughter of artists, has a lovely life in many ways. At forty-four, she enjoys strolling the streets of Paris and teaching at the modern art museum; she has a vibrant group of friends; and she's even caught the eye of a young, charismatic man named Loup. But Vincent is also in Paris to escape a painful betrayal: her husband, Cillian, has published a bestselling book divulging secrets about their marriage and his own past, hinting that when he was a teenager, he may have had a child with a young woman back in Dublin-before he moved to California and never returned. Now estranged from her husband, Vincent has agreed to see Cillian again at their son's wedding the following summer, but Loup introduces new complications. Soon they begin an intense affair, and somewhere between dinners made together, cigarettes smoked in the moonlight, hazy evenings in nightclubs, and long, starry walks along the Seine, Vincent feels herself loosening and blossoming. In a journey that is both transportive and intimate, Half-Blown Rose traverses Paris, art, travel, liminal spaces, and the messy complexities of relationships and romance, with excerpts from Cillian's novel, playlists, and journal entries woven throughout. As Cillian does all he can to win her back, Vincent must decide what she wants . . . and who she will be.
Book Synopsis UNBIASED Writings on India by : Bhaskar Parichha
Download or read book UNBIASED Writings on India written by Bhaskar Parichha and published by Blue Hill Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-03 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second decade (2010-2019) of the new millennium was significant for India. Her rise in a multipolar world had its fitting moments. Powered by a rapidly expanding economy and a favorable demographic trend, India charted its own course to success with a few assertive steps for an optimistic future. Change was more glaring in India during this period when it came to politics. From several surprising debuts to quite a few shocking election wins, the last decade witnessed a massive change in the political situation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power with a thumping victory in 2014 and was re-elected for a second term in 2019 with an even bigger margin. The Congress, on the other hand, was reduced to nothing. Whether it was the revocation of Article 370 or the Ram Mandir verdict, the politico-religious landscape changed a lot in these ten years. These mutable dynamics with shifting of the political narrative from liberal to the right meant one thing: the government would be decisive in action and would not hesitate from taking radical steps if something was in the national interest. Imposing the GST, demonetization were the radical steps taken which had its share of miseries as well. This book is a throwback to those episodic events – economic, social, political, and developmental plus a sundry lot.
Book Synopsis When Waves Fell Silent by : Menon Unnikrishnan
Download or read book When Waves Fell Silent written by Menon Unnikrishnan and published by Blue Hill Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-24 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started writing this book, I was sure of one thing. People will ask. What is there so much to write about retirement? Isn’t it a natural course of destiny? A sequence in the cycle of life? Many take it so. For some, it is compliance with an inevitability. Yet, there are few who approach it emotionally. I do. The Ocean, the beach and its surging waves have always enthralled the young and the old. They revel in its vibrant energy. But at times, when none is watching, I have felt, they are falling silent. They linger on the shore, overwhelmed by an existential dilemma. And at this end of the spectrum, they are under duress. It’s contemplation in a state of anguish. In those wee hours, their roar reduces to a murmur dying down to a frightening stillness. I used to feel so sad seeing the white foam, a makeover due to the turbulence it suffered, meekly washing my feet as if pleading for redemption. I know I am helpless, for this moment, the quintessence of all that I am, is also at the mercy of destiny. The rumble is subdued, and I know, soon, that will also fall silent. ’When Waves Fell Silent’ is an account of the journey of a commoner. Of an unknown Indian, starting the hundredth day to retirement and until the day of reckoning. Can it be con-strued as a record of activities of the period? Maybe, but it is not conclusive. The func-tional domain that forms the background has been the state media, All India Radio. It does not purport to be a historical record of anything, and yet there are references and pointers to it. Facts are as sourced from the public domain, treatment and approach, of a scholar who has for ever been researching this media while with it. My own opinions based on the experience have been relationally built into the writing. I vouch for their honesty. But doubt me not when I say I wouldn’t shy away from admitting the fictional flavour I might have added. That is because I am a practitioner of creativity. Let truth behold. Views, obser-vations and contentions are as I felt it, however disparaging they might be never intended to be vindictive. I may be pardoned if it might appear so. For whatever it is, the approach has been nothing but honourable. Denied of dues in the functional domain, I dedicate this to all those who ended up in the same plight as I am. If you are looking for something to be optimistic about, then regret it, you may not find it. I am but a realist and can act as one only. But posterity can take cues if they wish to, for where they will find a truer account?
