MAYBON Ch. B et Jean FREDET.
Histoire de la concession française de CHANGHAÏ. Publiée avec le haut patronage de S.E.M. Le Ministre des Affaires étrangères, du Conseil d'Administration municipale de la Concession française et de la Chambre du Commerce française de Chine.
Paris, Librairie Plon Les Petits-Fils de Plon et Nourrit, 1929. Fort in- 4 ( (210 x 290), broché, couverture imprimée, VII (avertissement de Jean Fredet -introduction)-457 pp avec bibliographie. Edition originale rare. Exemplaire non coupé. Ouvrage illustré d'une carte sur double-page : carte générale des approches de Changhaï- un plan de la ville et du port sur double page et de nombreuses planches hors-texte (portraits, vues, plans, monuments, etc). BEL EXEMPLAIRE TEL QUE PARU. Un peu d'histoire : Quelques milliers de Français prirent part au façonnement de cette partie de la cité de Shanghai qu’on a appelée pendant un siècle la « Concession française » - où vivaient dans les années 1920 quelque 250.000 Chinois, l’équivalent alors de la population lyonnaise... Le 20 mai 1847 Charles de Montigny embarqua avec sa famille à bord du Duguay-Trouin en partance pour Shanghai pour y établir un Consulat français et négocier avec les Chinois l’établissement d’une concession, territoire sur lequel s’exercerait le droit français et où les Français eux-mêmes pourraient acquérir des biens immobiliers... En 1862, il existait trois concessions à Shanghai : la concession anglaise -la plus ancienne- et les concessions américaine et française. Les Anglais et les Américains avaient pour projet de réunir les trois concessions dont les traditions d’administration étaient jusque là totalement différentes afin de former une seule et même concession, plus cohérente, plus puissante et donc plus riche. Mais les Français refusèrent cette proposition et menèrent une « guerre d’indépendance » contre les autres concessions qui finirent par se regrouper pour former une concession internationale. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la colonie française ne comptait qu’une dizaine de personnes. En 1880, elle regroupait 33.660 habitants, dont 33.330 Chinois et quelques 330 « étrangers ». Vingt ans après, en 1900, la population avait triplé. La concession elle-même s’agrandit : des 66 hectares initiaux, elle passa à 144 en 1900. En 1906, la première ligne de tramway fut ouverte. Jusqu’en 1940, Shanghai connut un développement spectaculaire. Le domaine français gagna du terrain, les ruisseaux furent comblés et de grandes avenues furent construites. Après la Grande Guerre, la concession française était à son apogée. Magasins de mode, boutiques de luxe, épiceries fines, salons de thé proclamaient sa fortune. L’essor démographique se poursuivit : en 1934, la concession comptait plus d’habitants que la ville de Lyon. Elle s’organisa d’ailleurs comme une vraie ville avec ses églises, ses écoles, ses hôpitaux, ses banques, sa prison, son cimetière et... ses maisons closes. L’automobile fit également son entrée : 4.026 voitures circulaient dans la concession en 1931 contre contre 2 seulement en 1909.

Mayer Ruth
Serial Fu Manchu: The Chinese Supervillain and the Spread of Yellow Peril Ideology
8vo, br. ed. 199pp. he evil mastermind&;and master of disguise&;Fu Manchu has long threatened to take over the world. In the past century, his dastardly plans have driven serialized novels, comic books, films, and TV. Yet this sinister Oriental character represents more than an invincible criminal in pop culture; Fu Manchu became the embodiment of the Yellow Peril. Serial Fu Manchu provides a savvy cultural, historical, and media-based analysis that shows how Fu Manchu&;s irrepressibility gives shape to&;and reinforces&;the persistent Yellow Peril myth. Ruth Mayer argues that seriality is not merely a commercial strategy but essential to the spread of European and American fears of Asian expansion.Tracing Fu Manchu through transnational serials in varied media from 1913 to the 1970s, Mayer shows how the icon evolved. She pays particular attention to the figure&;s literary foundations, the impact of media changes on his dissemination, and his legacy. In the series Asian American History and Culture, edited by Sucheng Chan, David Palumbo-Liu, Michael Omi, K. Scott Wong, and Linda Trinh

Chinese Furniture: A Guide to Collecting Antiques
The international market for antique Chinese furniture is booming, and masterpieces from the Ming and Qing dynasties are now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chinese Furniture is a survey of these collectibles from the very best hardwood pieces featured to standard softwood specimens still available on the Asian market. This antique furniture book presents an overview of carving styles, wood types, regional variations, class distinctions and restoration techniques. Detailed chapters on various types of wooden furniture cover chairs, stools and benches, tables and desks, beds, cabinets and bookshelves, doors and screens and household accessories. With this renewed interest in antique furniture, a forgery market has emerged. Thousands of factories in southern China are churning out brand new or refurbished furniture and passing them off as Chinese antiques. Chinese Furniture unearths these forgeries and serves as an indispensable reference guide to collectors of antique wood furniture

McArthur Meher
Confucius: A Throneless King
8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.234. Confucius is one of the most important figures in Chinese history,whose philosophies have shaped world culture. Often overlookedoutside his native country, Confucius himself was a fascinatingfigure. A contemporary of Buddha, Confucius was outspokenand uncompromising man who revolutionized Chinese societynearly 2,500 years ago, when the country was merely a looseweb of feudal provinces. No small feat for the illegitimate son ofa retired soldier and a teenage concubine, who once received aprophecy from the local fortune-teller that she would give birth toa ?throneless king.? Perhaps because of these humble beginnings, Confucius had apassionate belief in respect for others and this belief underpinnedhis life and teachings. He advised the emperors and kings of hisday, gaining their respect and undying enmity along the way. hewas equally proud of both achievements, saying that if the evilpeople of the world liked him, he was doing something wrong.Confucius established many ideas that are taken for granted today, from respecting one?s parents to the Golden Rule, to virtuebeing its own reward. his theories became the foundation of oneof the world?s first civil services and established social structuresthroughout Asia that still exist today.
