8vo, pp.449.This volume explores the relationship between culture and the military in Chinese society from early China to the Qing empire, with contributions by eminent scholars aiming to reexamine the relationship between military matters and law, government, historiography, art, philosophy, literature, and politics. This book critically investigates the perception that, due to the influence of Confucianism, Chinese culture has systematically devalued military matters. There was nothing inherently pacifist about the Chinese governments' views of war, and pragmatic approaches - even aggressive and expansionist projects - often prevailed. Though it has changed in form, a military elite has existed in China from the beginning of its history, and military service included a large proportion of the population at any given time. Popular literature praised the martial ethos of fighting men. Civil officials attended constantly to military matters on the administrative and financial ends. The seven military classics produced in antiquity continued to be read even into the modern period. These original essays explore the ways in which intellectual, civilian, and literary elements helped shape the nature of military institutions, theory, and the culture of war. This important contribution bridges two literatures, military and cultural, that seldom appear together in the study of China, and deepens our understanding of war and society in Chinese history.

8vo, original cloth , no dj, viii + 248pp, index, notes, ex-library stamps, ow. a very good copy. This book transcends the boundaries of Chinese studies and scholarship on Western literature and critical theory, bringing together the two fields in a way that questions both the application of Western theory to Chinese materials and the resistance to theory in sinological scholarship. Recognizing that social and historical reality is external to discourse and that knowledge has an inevitable ethical import, the author argues for the importance of reality and lived experience in understanding a culture as well as the moral responsibility of such understanding. The book examines the discrepancies between various Western representations of China and the reality of China; inquires into the cultural, historical, and political contexts within which such discrepancies arise; and points out the distortion of reality in the tendency toward cultural dichotomies, the tendency to view China as the conceptual opposite of the West.

8vo Paperback. Book Condition: New. 214 x 153 mm. Brand New Book. A father hunts for his daughter's killer in the gripping true story "Midnight in Peking" by Paul French -which finally solves the case. On a frozen morning in January 1937, in the dying days of colonial Peking, a body was found under the haunted watchtower. It was Pamela Werner, the teenage daughter of the city's former British consul ETC Werner. Her heart had been removed. A horrified world followed the hunt for Pamela's killer, with a Chinese-British detective team pursuing suspects including a blood-soaked rickshaw puller, the Triads, and a lascivious grammar school headmaster. But the case was soon forgotten amid the carnage of the Japanese invasion.by all but ETC Werner. With a network of private investigators and informers, he followed the trail deep into Peking's notorious Badlands and back to the gilded hotels of the colonial Quarter. Some 75 years later, deep in the Scotland Yard archives, British historian Paul French accidentally came across the lost case file prepared by ETC Werner. Unveiling an undercover sex cult, heroin addicts and disappearing brothels, the truth behind the crime can now be told - and is more disturbing than anyone could imagine.Not just the unputdownable story of a savage murder, Midnight in Peking is a sweepingly evocative account of the end of an era. "An instant true crime classic. Grips from the first page to the last". (David Peace, author of "Red Riding" and "The Damned United"). "Fascinating and irresistible. I couldn't put it down". (John Berendt, author of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"). 'Written in the style of a gripping murder mystery, but all the facts are true". (Kirsty Lang, BBC Radio 4 ("Book of the Week")). "Engrossing true crime whodunnit.A terrific read". (Andrew Holgate, "Sunday Times"). "Not only does Mr French succeed in solving the crime, he resurrects a period that was filled with glitter as well as evil". ("The Economist"). "French has an easygoing prose style.well chosen quotes bring a new vigour and crispness.He succeeds in giving voice to a tragic quest for justice". ("Sunday Telegraph"). "It is the storytelling flair that marks "Midnight in Peking" so highly above the run-of-the-mill true crime stories: with its false leads and twists, it sucks the reader in like the best fiction". ("The Scotsman")."The shocking true tale, combined with prose you can't drag yourself away from, makes "Midnight in Peking" a work of non fiction as compulsive as any bestselling crime novel. It also brings justice at last for a young woman whose murder nearly went unsolved". ("Sunday Express"). Born in London, Paul French has lived in China for more than 10 years. He is a widely published analyst and commentator on China; his books include
