First edition account of a pivotal British diplomatic expedition. Laurence Oliphant 1829-1888 was private secretary to Lord Elgin at this time and his very readable narrative provides a first-hand record of the 19th-century diplomatic and military efforts that forced open trade in East Asia including for example an account of the bombardment of Canton during the Second Opium War. During this journey they secured the Treaty of Tientsin in China and the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Amity and Commerce. The text is highly significant for documenting this critical era of Western imperialism. . William Blackwood and Sons. hardcover

1973Best.-Nr. 372076Theatrum Orbis Terrarum New York & Amsterdam 1973. Hardcover. Good Condition. Escalante is not known to have visited China. In the concluding section of his Discurso he clarifies that his primary role is that of a synthesizer. His literary references were mainly Portuguese particularly the 1569 work by Dominican Gaspar de Cruz who spent a month preaching in Guangzhou and the account of China found in the third decade of Joo de Barros's Dcadas da sia published in 1563. Barros himself never traveled to Asia; however he had access to Chinese texts and a literate Chinese slave in his Lisbon office who could read and interpret them. Additionally Escalante conducted interviews with Portuguese merchants who had journeyed to the Chinese coast as well as some individuals from China who had arrived in Spain. Approximately 48 pages. Minimal wear to the pages or the binding. Original red cloth with contrasting gilt lettering piece to the spine and upper board.

Best.-Nr. 103603Zürich Paranoia City 1990. 4° 65 S. zahlr. Abb. Brosch. Tadellos. Am 22. April 1989 besetzten zehntausende Studierende im Zuge der offiziellen Trauerfeier den Tiananmen-Platz „Platz des himmlischen Friedens“. Sie protestierten gegen das Regime und forderten mehr Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit.Die Proteste weiteten sich aus – auch auf andere Städte. Mitte Mai demonstrierten mehr als 1 Mio. Menschen auf dem Platz. Die Regierung geriet unter Zugzwang und rief am 20.5. das Kriegsrecht aus.In der Nacht auf den 4.6. rückte das Militär – die Volksbefreiungsarmee – mit Panzern gegen die Demonstrierenden vor und eröffnete das Feuer.Eine genaue Rekonstruktion der Ereignisse ist schwierig. Amnesty International geht von bis zu 3.000 Opfern aus die chinesische Regierung spricht von etwa 300 Toten.Bis heute wird das öffentliche Gedenken an das Massaker unterbunden. Proteste auf dem Platz des himmlischen Friedens und Meldungen über das Massaker werden verhindert.Trotz Einschüchterung setzen sich u.a. die „Tiananmen-Mütter“ weiter für eine Aufarbeitung ein. 010 Zürich, Paranoia City, 1990 unknown
