Mackerras Colin
Western Images of China
8vo, br. ed. 349pp. former owner's name, ow very good. This study explores the ways in which Westerners, from the earliest times until the late 1980s, have perceived China. Examining sources from all media - literature, journalism, the visual and performing arts - the author shows the enormous variety in Western images of China over the centuries. He demonstrates the impact which the power relations of the day have exerted on the ways Westerners have perceived China and its people. At some time China has constituted a "model" for certain schools of thought in the West, at others China has been viewed as a threat to Western civilization.

One stormy day as I was trudging homeward in company with an inveterate pedestrian--a young Englishman who persisted in taking 'constitutional exercise' in all kinds of weather--he suddenly halted at the brid ge that crossed the broad moat before the Sakurada gateway and exclaimed: 'Here is the spot where was enacted the most thrilling episode in modern Japanese history. On a day like this about fourteen years ago the de facto ruler of the Japanese empire was attacked at the head of this bridge in the very midst of his guards by a band of seventeen Mito romins and was ignominously beheaded.'.Being deeply interested in his graphic account of the tragedy I eagerly read up all the narratives. .and came to the conclusion that the affair was worthy to be woven into the warp and aoof of a romance."--preface ; stamps of the Department of the Navy and bookplate of the Crew's Library of the U.S.S.

MACRI FRANCO DAVID
Clash Of Empires In South China: The Allied Nations' Proxy War With Japan 1935-1941
University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Japan's invasion of China in 1937 saw most major campaigns north of the Yangtze River where Chinese industry was concentrated. The southern theater proved a more difficult challenge for Japan because of its enormous size diverse terrain and poor infrastructure but Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek made a formidable stand that produced a veritable quagmire for a superior opponent�a stalemate much desired by the Allied nations. In the first book to cover this southern theater in detail David Macri closely examines strategic decisions campaigns and operations and shows how they affected Allied grand strategy. Drawing on documents of U.S. and British officials he reveals for the first time how the Sino-Japanese War served as a "proxy war" for the Allies: by keeping Japan's military resources focused on southern China they hoped to keep the enemy bogged down in a war of attrition that would prevent them from breaching British and Soviet territory. While the most immediate concern was preserving Siberia and its vast resources from invasion Macri identifies Hong Kong as the keystone in that proxy war�vital in sustaining Chinese resistance against Japan as it provided the logistical interface between the outside world and battles in Hunan and Kwangtung provinces; a situation that emerged because of its vital rail connection to the city of Changsha. He describes the development of Anglo-Japanese low-intensity conflict at Hong Kong; he then explains the geopolitical significance of Hong Kong and southern China for the period following the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Opening a new window on this rarely studied theater Macri underscores China's symbolic importance for the Allies depicting them as unequal partners who fought the Japanese for entirely different reasons�China for restoration of its national sovereignty the Allies to keep the Japanese preoccupied. And by aiding China's wartime efforts the Allies further hoped to undermine Japanese propaganda designed to expel Western powers from its Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. As Macri shows Hong Kong was not just a sleepy British Colonial outpost on the fringes of the empire but an essential logistical component of the war and to fully understand broader events Hong Kong must be viewed together with southern China as a single military zone. His account of that forgotten fight is a pioneering work that provides new insight into the origins of the Pacific War. Franco David Macri is a postdoctoral fellow with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command at Hickam AFB Hawaii. "Sophisticated pioneering and a significant contribution to the field of World War II studies. Macri's research is meticulous exhaustive and well balanced; his writing is cogent and smooth. An admirable work."�Miles Maochun Yu author of The Dragon's War: Allied Operations and the Fate of China "Massively researched and splendidly narrated this is the best available international history of Hong Kong during the China-Japan war."�Akira Iriye author of China and Japan in the Global Setting "Outstanding. Sweeping in scope and illuminating."�Edward J. Drea author of Japan's Imperial Army: Its Rise and Fall "An impressive addition to the literature of the Pacific War."�Xiaobing Li author of A History of the Chinese Army University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: 2012 hardcover

Magalotti Lorenzo, Gruber Johann
Notizie varie dell’Imperio della China e di qualche altro paese adiacente, con la vita di Confucio il Gran Savi della China, e un saggio della sua Morale, All’Illustriss. Sig. Marchese Clemente Vitelli. Maestro di Camera del Sereniss. Granduca di Toscana.
In 12 (14,4×8,4 cm); XV, (1), 185, (3) pp. Legatura novecentesca in cartoncino rigido foderato con carta a motivi in nero e giallo. Xilografia al frontespizio. Una lieve alone di sporco alla seconda carta, ininfluente, una leggerissimo alone, praticamente invisibile nella zona centrale della seconda parte del volume, del tutto ininfluente. Una piccolissima mancanza all’angolo basso esterno dell’ultima carta e nel complesso esemplare in buone condizioni di conservazione. Testatine, finalini ed iniziali xilografiche. Marca tipografica xilografica a pagina VIII e all’ultima pagina. Prima, assai rara edizione, di questa monografia di interesse cinese solitamente attribuita al grande scienziato, letterato e diplomatico romano, Lorenzo Magalotti (Roma, 13 dicembre 1637 – Firenze, 2 marzo 1712). L’edizione, curata da I. Carlieri, uscì in forma anonima per la prima volta nel 1797 per i torchi di Giuseppe Manni. Sembra che una prima versione, ridotta e con presenti numerose inesattezze ed errori, fosse apparsa in “Relations de divers voyages curieux” una raccolta di relazioni a cura di M. Thévenot a Parigi nel 1672. Quello che si sa per certo è che l’opera venne stampata per la prima volta in forma singola, corretta e definitiva nel 1697. L’opera nasce da un incontro avuto nel gennaio 1666 da Magallotti, insieme a C.R. Dati, con il gesuita austriaco J. Grueber. Durante questo incontro il gesuita che aveva vissuto a lungo a Pechino raccontò le sue esperienze di viaggio e le conoscenze che aveva sviluppato sugli usi e costumi cinesi. “Ne risulta un resoconto sempre in bilico tra scrupolo documentario ed evocazione fantasiosa, molto efficace dal punto di vista espressivo”. Opera assai rara da reperirsi. Bibl. rif.: Razzolini-Bacchi della Lega p. 214 “Assai raro”; Melzi, Anonimi, I°, p. 246.
