Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peking, the heart of the ancient empire of China, was on its back in the year 1900, occupied by the foreign powers in the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion, and at the mercy of looters and exploiters. Pierre Loti, one of the most famous French writers of theage, spent nearly a year there with the French expeditionary force, and left in this book, The Last Days of Peking, an extraordinary account of the city at its moment of crisis. The writing reflects China and its culture, and the conflicting attitudes of Westerners towards the country - a weird mixture of sinophilia and sinophobia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siege Days: Personal Experiences of American Women and Children During the Peking Siege We have received wonderful mercies. The larger ones have already been given to the world, but not the countless little ones that made up our daily life during that summer of 1900. Let us gather up these fragments, after the great miracle, that nothing be lost. Let us record them now lest we forget. The plan is that every lady and child among the American missionaries should write on some subject. Of course, children are not limited to any subject. Let their little hands pick up all the crumbs they can. Some will object that enough books have already been writ ten ou the siege, as they have, on the causes of the uprising, its statistics, diaries of the siege, etc. But nothing exactly like this. This is to give the small details of daily life, a record of little daily mercies, which cannot but be interesting to Chris tian women, and which would otherwise die in oblivion. Let us all pray for the blessing of God upon the book, that His name may be glorified by it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beleaguered in Peking: The Boxer's War Against the Foreigner Authentic details furnished by representatives Of those legations whose work has been specially mentioned have made possible a greater detail in those cases. I regret that others who had promised me accounts Of their work have failed to furnish the promised material. The siege at Pei Tang or North Cathedral, coincident with that of the legations and civil ians, is not described for the reason that we were absolutely cut off from them for over sixty days and knew nothing of their movements. Much detail that might be interesting to many I have been obliged to omit, as it would make the book too cumbersome.

Book excerpt: For two years before and after the 1948 Communist Revolution, David Kidd lived in Peking, where he married the daughter of an aristocratic Chinese family. "I used to hope," he writes, "that some bright young scholar on a research grant would write about us and our Chinese friends before it was too late and we were all dead and gone, folding into the darkness the wonder that had been our lives." Here Kidd himself brings that wonder to life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pekin Centenary, 1849-1949: Commemorating 100 Years of Community Progress in the City of Pekin, Illinois Velde, who still practices law in Pekun was one of the best shots in the Pekin company. However, he was left-handed. When this defect was called to his attention by army authorities, he pro tested that he was, nevertheless, one of the best shots in the company. We have enough men here to lick the Spaniards right-handed, was the reply, and he was mustered out. As it turned out, there were enough men to lick the Spaniards without Co. C, and the sur render cancelled their sailing orders. The last hanging in Pekin. Which took place in '96, was almost a festive occasion, but a model of good order compared to the Ott and Berry affairs. People jammed roof-tops to look down inside the stockade. But otherwise things were orderly. The Post Tribune of that day gives an account of this affair under a head-line Wallace Dies Gamek which reads, in part, as follows.

Book excerpt: Winner of the both the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime and the CWA Non-Fiction Dagger from the author of City of Devils Chronicling an incredible unsolved murder, Midnight in Peking captures the aftermath of the brutal killing of a British schoolgirl in January 1937. The mutilated body of Pamela Werner was found at the base of the Fox Tower, which, according to local superstition, is home to the maliciously seductive fox spirits. As British detective Dennis and Chinese detective Han investigate, the mystery only deepens and, in a city on the verge of invasion, rumor and superstition run rampant. Based on seven years of research by historian and China expert Paul French, this true-crime thriller presents readers with a rare and unique portrait of the last days of colonial Peking.
