Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Account of the Siamese Twin Brothers, From Actual Observations The kingdom of Siam, from whence these interesting youths were brought, is situated between the Chinese and Burmese empires, and is tributary to the former. Bankok, the capital city of the empire, is in latitude 130 N. And longitude 101° E., on the river Minam. About 40 miles from its mouth. Many of the houses, which are of bamboo, are built upon rafts, and moored in the river in such situa tions as suit the convenience of the occupiers. There are houses, belonging to the higher classes of people, on shore built of brick, and painted white; that of the King is en closed within walls about two miles in circumference; his household consists of about three thousand individuals, of whom seven hundred are his wives. The person of the King is considered so sacred, that when he leaves the pre cincts of the palace, (about twice a year, ) the streets are cleared of people, the doors and windows of all buildings closed, and any person found guilty of looking at his most excellent Majesty, is punished with immediate death.

This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An astonishing story, by turns ghastly, hilarious, unnerving, and moving.”—Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve In this “excellent” portrait of America’s famed nineteenth-century Siamese twins, celebrated biographer Yunte Huang discovers in the conjoined lives of Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874) a trenchant “comment on the times in which we live” (Wall Street Journal). “Uncovering ironies, paradoxes and examples of how Chang and Eng subverted what Leslie Fiedler called ‘the tyranny of the normal’ ” (BBC), Huang depicts the twins’ implausible route to assimilation after their “discovery” in Siam by a British merchant in 1824 and arrival in Boston as sideshow curiosities in 1829. Their climb from subhuman, freak-show celebrities to rich, southern gentry who profited from entertaining the Jacksonian mobs; their marriage to two white sisters, resulting in twenty-one children; and their owning of slaves, is here not just another sensational biography but an “extraordinary” (New York Times), Hawthorne-like excavation of America’s historical penchant for tyrannizing the other—a tradition that, as Huang reveals, becomes inseparable from American history itself.
