Book Synopsis Penang and Its Region by : Neil Khor
Download or read book Penang and Its Region written by Neil Khor and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its beginnings in the late eighteenth century, the vibrant colonial port of Penang attracted a diverse range of peoples, enabled pioneering commercial enterprises, and fomented inter-ethnic collaboration and inter-cultural borrowings. The island came to be known as the 'Pearl of the Orient', and for many travellers it was their first port of call in Southeast Asia. In the early nineteenth century, Singapore displaced Penang in international trade, but the island remained a major focus of regional trade. For this reason, the story of Penang's relations with the Malay Peninsula and other parts of Southeast Asia reveal a great deal about conditions within the region.

Book excerpt: Before Raffles, before Rajah Brooke, there was Francis Light, the 18th-century trailblazer in the Malay Archipelago. The 18th-century Straits of Malacca is in crisis, beleaguered by the Dutch, the Bugis, and the clash between Siam and Burma. Enter Francis Light, devious manipulator of the status quo, joined by a cast of real historical figures from the courts of Siam and Kedah and from the East India Company, including Sultan Muhammed Jiwa, King Tak Sin, Warren Hastings and Martinha Rozells, a young Eurasian woman of noble birth. From humble origins in Suffolk, England, Light struggles against the social prejudices of his day. His subsequent adventures as a naval officer and country ship captain take him from India to Sumatra, the Straits of Malacca to Siam, through shipwreck, sea battles, pirate raids and tropical disease. But Light’s most difficult challenge is his ultimate dream: to establish a British port in the Indies on behalf of the East India Company. Dragon, the first volume of Penang Chronicles, charts Francis Light’s colourful adventures in the decades before the settlement of Penang island, the Honourable Company’s first possession on the Malay Peninsula.

Book excerpt: In this evocative and emotional novel, a young woman bravely crosses continents on a journey of discovery to the vibrant bohemian scene in Paris, determined to make a life for herself as an artist. Paris, 1949: As the train pulls into the Gare de Lyon in a cloud of steam, young art student Jasmine Barrington alights and the rush of nerves takes her by surprise: a surge of excitement mixed with fear. Revelling in her freedom, Jasmine throws herself into her studies at the prestigious Beaux Arts school by day, inspired by her handsome and charismatic teacher, Lachlan, and discovers the smoky cafés and bars of the left bank by night. But even as she falls in love with the city of light, following in the footsteps of former students she reveres, like Renoir and Degas, is far from easy. Under the discipline of the classical training she finds her creative spirit crushed and seeks comfort in the letters she receives from her home island of Penang. Howard, the man to whom she owes her life, writes of the daily dangers of the Malayan Emergency back home and longs to hear her news, hoping that she might one day return to Penang, and to him. Torn between the world she's always known, and her chance to discover who she is as an artist, can Jasmine find the courage to follow her heart? From the starry nights of post-war Paris to the war-torn jungle of the Malayan peninsula, this heartrending story of love and loss is a must-read for fans of Fiona Valpy, Rhys Bowen and Kristin Hannah.
