Book excerpt: For 30 years Hughes wrote newspaper stories for The Sunday Times and the Economist from and about Southeast Asia. Followed by readers around the globe, his reports were often harbingers of momentous events to come. In addition Hughes teases the reader with was or wasn't he-a spy, a double-agent and, most important, for whom? This is a rollicking read by a seasoned veteran who keeps his cards close and his enemies closer.

Download or read book Western Visions of the Far East in a Transpacific Age, 1522–1657 written by Dr Christina H Lee and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-28 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing to bear the latest developments across various areas of research and disciplines, this collection provides a broad perspective on how Western Europe made sense of a complex, multi-faceted, and by and large Sino-centered East and Southeast Asia. The volume covers the transpacific period--after Magellan's opening of the transpacific route to the Far East and before the eventual dominance of the region by the British and the Dutch. In contrast to the period of the Enlightenment, during which Orientalist discourses arose, this initial period of encounters and conquest is characterized by an enormous curiosity and a desire to seize--not only materially but intellectually--the lands and peoples of East Asia. The essays investigate European visions of the Far East--particularly of China and Japan--and examine how and why particular representations of Asians and their cultural practices were constructed, revised, and adapted. Collectively, the essays show that images of the Far East were filtered by worldviews that ranged from being, on the one hand, universalistic and relatively equitable towards cultures to the other extreme, unilaterally Eurocentric.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New America and the Far East: A Picturesque and Historic Description of These Lands and Peoples During that period, we have changed from one of the weakest to the most powerful nation on the globe. Fifty years ago, the monarchs who governed what were then the leading nations of the earth established diplomatic relations with scarcely a thought of the young republic on the western Shore of the Atlantic. N ow, the powerful nations of the world seek our friendship, and none venture any important diplomacy without first learning whether it will be acceptable to this great republic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Signs and Portents, in the Far East Events of to-day in the Far East are posters for to-morrow. No white man can wander, as the writer of these pages did last summer, through China, Manchuria, Korea, and Japan, without having forced upon his sight some of the inscriptions which these posters bear. The impressions here set down are those of an Anglo-Indian journalist who does not apologise for his point of view, since the potentialities of India as the coadjutor of Great Britain in the future of the Far East can hardly be over-estimated. That future is perhaps the most serious problem of the twentieth century. So immediate and dramatic, so big with possibilities and crowded with incident, is the new situation, that the writer publishes his report believing that the evidence of an eye-witness cannot fail to be of value where Anglo-Saxon interests are so closely concerned and so plainly threatened.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneering in the Far East: And Journeys to California in 1849 and to the White Sea in 1878 The experiences of a life spent in mercantile adven tures hardly seem to contain sufficient interest to warrant their being made the subject of a book. Neither training nor acquirements had qualified me to be a scientific recorder of the wonders of the Eastern Archipelago, and I have not attempted to figure as such, but have merely tried to put down, as simply as possible, some account of five and twenty years spent among its islands: Yet I venture to hope that the story of my life will not be devoid of some information, and there are two topics on which I can claim to speak with an intimate know ledge, and on one of which I feel bound to record my testimony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Far West and the Old Far East: Being Notes of a Tour in North America, Japan, China, Ceylon, Etc In publishing this volume, I wish to point out to my readers, that I have purposely avoided going over old ground. In my last work entitled Life and Labour in the Far Far West, published in 1884, I described many places in Canada, revisited in my recent tour. I do not consider a repetition of the same facts necessary; and though in some cases I may be obliged to mention places visited before (for the sake of comparison), it will be as briefly as possible - Granville, now Vancouver City, in British Columbia, excepted. The new ground in Canada, over which I lately travelled, was a district recently opened up by the Manitoba and North Western Railway, through the "park-like lands of the Fertile Belt;" from Portage-la-Prairie to Langenburg, and by the Canadian Pacific Railway, from Calgary over the Rocky, Selkirk, and Cascade Mountains to the new terminal city of Vancouver.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Far East and the New America, Vol. 2: A Picturesque and Historic Account of These Lands and Peoples Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Japan to the United States. The rapid progress which the Japanese Empire has made within a comparatively brief period seems to be a source of surprise to foreign observers. They apparently believe that Japan has Sprung almost at a single bound from mediaeval barbarism to modern civilisation. Only two score and ten years ago Europeans and Americans had nothing but the vaguest ideas concerning the Empire and its people. It is perhaps natural that they should now be astonished when they behold Japan in full enjoyment of the comity of nations, amply proving her capacity to administer constitutional government and justifying her title to all international rights and privileges.
