Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Unknown China: A Record of the Observations, Adventures and Experiences of a Pioneer Missionary During a Prolonged Sojourn Amongst the Wild and Unknown Nosu Tribe of Western China In another part of the room squatted the brother of the girl with the long pipe and coral ear-rings, and the Nosu chief who had guided the Englishman into the heart of the country, where dwell the wild hillmen so dreaded by the Western Chinese. These two men were in deep conversa tion, and though it was all in a tongue foreign to me, I heard them several times use the words Nhe chah-chah, and that being the name which the Nosu tribesmen had given to the stranger who had come among them, I knew that the conversation had some reference to me. I surmised that no harm was meant to the guest, for they smiled too pleasantly, and looked too good-tempered for persons who were plotting evil.

IN UNKNOWN CHINA CHAPTER I THE GIRL WITH THE CORAL BEADS SHE sat on the earth floor one side of the blazing wood Are, and I sat on a black bearskin on the other side of the same wood fire. Neither spoke a word to the other. She was a young girl of eighteen years of age, and was smoking a long pipe. From her ears hung strings of amber and coral beads, from eighteen inches to.two feet long, and every now and again she shaded her jeyes from the blaze or smoke of the fire. Constant proximity to a smoky fire had evidently made her eyes somewhat re. Now and again we glanced at each other, but as neither could speak the other's language, and we had only that day met, there was not much advance made towards jfriendship. As I was leaving again the next morning, it fseemed very likely that we should slip out of each other's (lives without even a word having passed between us. She would go her way as the daughter of a great Nosu chieftain, whose home was among the mighty hills of that independent land in Western China, which has never yet been conquered Jby the Chinese overlords. Perhaps now and again she would Iremember with faint interest the Englishman, who was the i first European to penetrate into the mysterious land where ishe dwelt. But while we were blinking at the fire, and I B 17 I . l was wondering why bearskins were not padded, and why they were almost as hard as the earth floor, others were plotting to bring the two who sat by the fire closer together. In another part of the room squatted the brother of the girl with the long pipe and coral ear-rings, and the Nosu chief who had guided the Englishman into the heart of the country, where dwell the wild hillmen so dreaded by the Western Chinese.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Thing: Incidents of Missionary Life in China The following pages tell a Missionary story which is sufficiently individual and distinct from others to deserve a permanent Record. The first requirement of a Book about Missions is, that it shall be easy to read; neither obscure, heavy, nor confused. I think few will be disappointed, in this respect, with Miss William's six years of Mission life: very few who begin will leave it unfinished. A second requirement is rarely met with. There are not half a dozen books which enable the reader actually to see how a Missionary spends his, or her, life from day to day. There is such an impatience with the commonplace and simple details of the life, and such a wish to startle and strike the reader, that only a selection of the louder incidents are given; and these being taken for all, a false conception takes hold of the mind, the truth of which comes to be doubted, as we reflect upon it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Livingston Nevius: For Forty Years a Missionary in China Imbued with the spirit Of an apostle, and burning to preach the gospel in the regions beyond, Dr. Nevius was a pioneer in more than one field. In Shantung, the principal scene of his life-work, he was preceded by missionaries of other churches; but at Hang-chow, which has become a mission center of vast importance, he was the first to find a footing unless, indeed, Bishop Burdon may contest the honor. The war which drove him from that station Opened for him the gates of the North. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan closed its doors to foreigners for over two hundred years because of religious and political instability caused by Christianity. By 1859, foreign residents were once again living in treaty ports in Japan, but edicts banning Christianity remained enforced until 1873. Drawing on an impressive array of English and Japanese sources, Ion investigates a crucial era in the history of Japanese-American relations the formation of Protestant missions. He reveals that the transmission of values and beliefs was not a simple matter of acceptance or rejection: missionaries and Christian laymen persisted in the face of open hostility and served as important liaisons between East and West.

Download or read book Culture and Imperialism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.

This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of LSD told by a concerned yet hopeful father, organic chemist Albert Hofmann, Ph.D. He traces LSD's path from a promising psychiatric research medicine to a recreational drug sparking hysteria and prohibition. In LSD: My Problem Child, we follow Dr. Hofmann's trek across Mexico to discover sacred plants related to LSD, and listen in as he corresponds with other notable figures about his remarkable discovery. Underlying it all is Dr. Hofmann's powerful conclusion that mystical experiences may be our planet's best hope for survival. Whether induced by LSD, meditation, or arising spontaneously, such experiences help us to comprehend "the wonder, the mystery of the divine, in the microcosm of the atom, in the macrocosm of the spiral nebula, in the seeds of plants, in the body and soul of people." More than sixty years after the birth of Albert Hofmann's problem child, his vision of its true potential is more relevant, and more needed, than ever.
