Book Synopsis The Intriguing Life and Ignominious Death of Maurice Benyovszky by : Andrew Drummond
Download or read book The Intriguing Life and Ignominious Death of Maurice Benyovszky written by Andrew Drummond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1790, Maurice Benyovszky’s posthumous memoir was an instant sensation. A tale of exploration and adventure beginning with his daring escape from a Siberian prison and ending with his coronation as King of Madagascar, it was translated into several languages and adapted for the theatre and opera. This book explores the veracity of this memoir and, more broadly, the challenges faced by the explorers of the age and the brutality of colonisation. The self-styled Hungarian Baron Maurice Auguste Aladar Benyovszky, Counsellor to the Duke of Saxony and Colonel in the service of the Queen of Hungary, was in fact only confirmed to have been an officer in a regiment of the Polish Confederation of Bar. While he did escape from Russian captors and subsequently travel to Japan, Formosa, China and Madagascar, many of his exploits were wildly exaggerated or simply invented. Andrew Drummond reveals an alternative picture of events by looking at statements from Benyovszky’s travelling companions and sceptical officials as well as contemporary documents from the places he claimed to have visited, untangling the truth behind his stories and examining what these stories can nonetheless tell us about the era in which Benyovszky lived. Witty and engagingly written, this book is fascinating reading for anyone interested in eighteenth-century colonial history and the story of early European and Russian explorers.

Excerpt: ...Between the ranks of the drumming and trumpeting priests, the successor elect of the Khamba lama came forward to receive us. He stated, by way of apology, that the holy man was unable, from the infirmities of age, to come himself to meet us; and the truth of this was rendered apparent at once, when we saluted Khamba lama at the steps of his wooden house: he was so prodigiously corpulent, that every motion must have been a labour to him. But in spite of his bodily grossness, the features of his dark brown face, and his calm self-possession, bespoke the cultivated man. He, too, like the rest of the lamas, wore a scarlet robe. We sat down with the high priest in one of his rooms, in which were several wooden presses or cabinets, by no means deficient in elegance; and some Chinese easy chairs. With the help of Gantimur, who served us as interpreter, we now commenced a very agreeable conversation. To a question of mine respecting the relation which the religion of the Buraets in this place bears to the Buddhism found by the English in Ceylon and Nepal, and to that of the Chinese; the Khamba lama answered, that the worship of Chigemtine followed here, is exactly like the Buddhism of India, but that it has no connexion whatever with the religion of Fo. He named, as an object of their worship, the mother of Chigemune: but when I ventured to remark thereupon, that they seemed, therefore, to acknowledge more than one God, he replied, that this was by no means the case; that the Burkhans, whose images they set up in the temples, are like the saints in the Greek Church, only teachers and instructive examples of men. I then asked if they reckon Con-fu-tse as one of these, and was answered in the negative. The Khamba lama seemed to have never heard of...
