‎( 2 BÄNDE ) Ostasiatische Kunst.‎

‎Könemann Verlag Köln, 1998. 406 S.; zahlr. Illustr. und 407 S.; zahlr. Illustr.; 32 cm. 2 Originalleinen mit illustr. Schutzumschlägen; farb. illustr. Orig.-Pappschuber.‎

‎Sehr gute Exemplare. - 2 BÄNDE. - Band 1: China; Kalligraphie; Jade; Indonesien; Die Champa-Reiche / Band 2: Die Khmer; Thailand; Laos; Burma; Vietnam; Textilien; Japan; Korea. - Grandiose Architekturanlagen, Malerei, Kunsthandwerk und alltägliches Gerät, Skulptur, Tanz, Kalligraphie sowie Poesie bilden ein farbenprächtiges Mosaik der faszinierenden Kultur Ost- und Südostasiens, die auch die Kunst des Abendlandes nachhaltig beeinflußt hat. Ausgehend von den steinernen Objekten des Neolithikums wird der Leser bis zur modernen Kunst des zeitgenössischen China geführt. Grabskulpturen, Porzellane, Tuschmalerei, die Verbotene Stadt, Möbel, Lacke und Seide sind hier zu entdecken. Kalligraphie und Jadebearbeitung werden wegen ihrer herausragenden Bedeutung für den ostasiatischen Kulturkreis in zwei gesonderten Kapiteln dargestellt; gleichermaßen ist die Technik der Textilerzeugung, der auch ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet ist, für den gesamten südostasiatischen ' Raum bestimmend. Südostasien begeistert durch die berühmten Tempelbauten ebenso wie durch die Langhäuser Indonesiens und die traditionellen Bauten auf den Kleinen Sunda-Inseln. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der darstellenden Kunst: dem wayang-Schattenspiel, den rituellen wie den Hoftänzen. Das Weltwunder im Dschungel, Angkor, führt die beeindruckende Zivilisation der Khmer vor Augen und mit Pagan wird die größte Tempelanlage der Welt vorgestellt. In Vietnam hatte der starke chinesische Einfluß in der Kaiserstadt Hue dennoch eine eigenständige Entwicklung zur Folge. Thailand und Laos bezaubern mit ihren opulenten Palast- und Tempelbauten. All die Fülle und Verschiedenartigkeit Japans wird in der Architektur von Palästen, Burgen, Tempeln, dem traditionellen Hausbau wie in den Prinzipien der Zen-Gärten offenbar. Auf Keramik und Malerei liegt ein Schwerpunkt der Betrachtung, zugleich wird aber auch die symbolische Bedeutung von Lackarbeiten, Netsuke oder Theatermasken nachvollzogen. Plastische Bildwerke, höfische Kunst, Samurai- und Volkskunst runden das Bild ab. Abschließend wird die Vielfalt koreanischer Kunsterzeugnisse durch frühe Bronze- und Goldschmiedearbeiten, typische Steinzeuggefäße, Gemälde und kostbare Gewänder illustriert.

‎Late Ch'ing, 1800-1911. Parts I & II in 2 volumes / Bänden. With 29 maps (= The Cambridge History of China, Volumes 10 and 11).‎

‎Cambridge etc., Cambridge University Press 1980-1995, 1980. xvi, 713; xx, 754 S. Orig.-Leinenbände mit Schutzumschlägen. "The first of two volumes in this major Cambridge history dealing with the decline of the Ch'ing empire. It opens with a survey of the Ch'ing empire in China and Inner Asia at its height, in about 1800. Contributors study the complex interplay of foreign invasion, domestic rebellion and Ch'ing decline and restoration. Special reference is made to the Peking administration, the Canton trade and the early treaty system, the Taiping, Nien and other rebellions, and the dynasty's survival in uneasy cooperation with the British, Russian, French, American and other invaders. Each chapter is written by a specialist from the international community of sinological scholars. No knowledge of Chinese is necessary; for readers with Chinese, proper names and terms are identified with their characters in the glossary, and full references to Chinese, Japanese and other works are given in the bibliographies. Numerous maps illustrate the text, and there are a bibliographical essays describing the source materials on which each author's account is based. The second of the two volumes in this major Cambridge history dealing with the gradual decline of the Ch'ing empire in China (the first was volume 10). Volume 11 surveys the persistence and deterioration of the old order in China during the late nineteenth century, and the profound stirring during that period, which led to China's great twentieth-century revolution. The contributors focus on commercial and technological growth, foreign relations, the stimulation of Chinese intellectual life by the outside world, and military triumphs and disasters. They show that the effects of the accelerating changes were to fragment the old ruling class and the ancient monarchy, finally bringing the Chinese people face to face with the challenges of the new century. For readers with Chinese, proper names and terms are identified with their characters in the glossary, and full references to Chinese, Japanese and other works are given in the bibliographies" (Publisher's description).

‎Chinese Secret Service: Kang Sheng & the Shadow Government in Red China.‎

‎Ist U.S. edition. 527 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers, b&w photos. "For half a century, Kang Sheng was master of the shadow kingdom that is 'Tewu', the Chinese Secret Service.(his) story necessarily broadens into a history of the Chinese Secret Service, from its inception in Shanghai in the 1920's to the current age of industrial espionage and terrorism. On the large scale, the subject of this book is the shaping of modern China. The break in Sino-Soviet relations was Kang Sheng's work, in large part, and his Orwellian Campaign of Rectification foreshadowed the unparalleled slaughter of the Great Leap Forward in the 1950's. examine(s) the struggle for power between Mao and Chiang Kai-shek, the vast system of Maoist 'Laogai' (prison camps), the development of the Chinese atom bomb, and, in general, the undercurrent of violence in Chinese history, which surfaced most recently in the Tienanmen Square massacre."‎

‎Fallows Deborah‎

‎Dreaming in Chinese: And Discovering What Makes a Billion People Tick‎

‎8vo, Why can't the Chinese say "I love you"? Can you wear pyjamas on the streets of Shanghai? Why is it so difficult to hear Chinese tones? In this charming, original book, Harvard linguist Deborah Fallows draws on her experiences of three years of living and travelling in China to provide the answers to these puzzles and many more. Using her own struggles and triumphs with the study of Mandarin as a guide, Fallows manages to describe the workings of the language in a way that is both intelligible and entertaining. Her anecdotes and stories illustrate how Westerners have to think in a fundamentally different way to survive in China. About the Author: Deborah Fallows has lived in Shanghai and Beijing and travelled throughout China with her husband, the writer and journalist James Fallows. She is a Harvard graduate and has a PhD in Linguistics, and is author of A Mother's Work (Houghton Mifflin). When in the US, she and her husband live in Washington DC. They have two sons.‎
