Download or read book Bangkok written by William Warren and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Warren’s Bangkok is an informal portrait of this most vibrant and perplexing of modern cities. Divided into two parts, the first is a selective history, showing how Bangkok has developed over the last 200 years, while the second explores the contemporary face of the city through a series of personal impressions. The author explains how the charms of Bangkok and its people outweigh the disadvantages of pollution, traffic and stifling heat. He also introduces celebrities, such as the early kings of Thailand’s present dynasty and Anna Leonowens, heroine of The King and I, as well as Jim Thompson, the US-born silk entrepreneur and art collector who mysteriously vanished in the jungles of Malaysia. Bangkok provides a much needed history of the city, but is also imbued with the warmth of Warren’s love affair with its frenetic way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brave British widow goes to Siam and—by dint of her principled and indomitable character—inspires that despotic nation to abolish slavery and absolute rule: this appealing legend first took shape after the Civil War when Anna Leonowens came to America from Bangkok and succeeded in becoming a celebrity author and lecturer. Three decades after her death, in the 1940s and 1950s, the story would be transformed into a powerful Western myth by Margaret Landon’s best-selling book Anna and the King of Siam and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical The King and I. But who was Leonowens and why did her story take hold? Although it has been known for some time that she was of Anglo-Indian parentage and that her tales about the Siamese court are unreliable, not until now, with the publication of Masked, has there been a deeply researched account of her extraordinary life. Alfred Habegger, an award-winning biographer, draws on the archives of five continents and recent Thai-language scholarship to disclose the complex person behind the mask and the troubling facts behind the myth. He also ponders the curious fit between Leonowens’s compelling fabrications and the New World’s innocent dreams—in particular the dream that democracy can be spread through quick and easy interventions. Exploring the full historic complexity of what it once meant to pass as white, Masked pays close attention to Leonowens’s midlevel origins in British India, her education at a Bombay charity school for Eurasian children, her material and social milieu in Australia and Singapore, the stresses she endured in Bangkok as a working widow, the latent melancholy that often afflicted her, the problematic aspects of her self-invention, and the welcome she found in America, where a circle of elite New England abolitionists who knew nothing about Southeast Asia gave her their uncritical support. Her embellished story would again capture America’s imagination as World War II ended and a newly interventionist United States looked toward Asia.

Excerpt: ... even in Shun, we may not say that this is either impossible or improbable. Should the dremn of the fancy ever prove a reality, it will be a very agreeable one to those who will have the journey to make. Such a one would, I have no doubt, compare very 1' ivo1-ably in ease and comfort, as well as speed, if not in romance, with the one taken in the "1l'latrimonial" when newly fitted up for the occasion. But in the absence of the carriage train drawn by the "Iron horse" with light ning speed, the Matrimonial was probably about as good a substitute as we could have had. Its bottom being very fiat and its draught consequently light, it can make its way among the innumerable shallows of the river, as it widens instead of.: ontrs, ctsin some portions of its upward course, where few other boats of its capacity can navigate. Its motion too is so st-early that you are not always fearful that some unavoidable change of position will destroy its centre ofgravity and give scrions apprehensions of an impromptu bath. The first tour that I made in Siam, was in a run yuan whose motions were as sudden as those of a Scotch terrier, and harder to be calculated for beforehaiul than were the freaks of the great Scottish the0logian's horse. But to my narrative, After a hurried preparation I started in company with a missionary friend on the 20th of November 1863. The current against which we had to make headway at that season of the year was exceedingly strong, thus rendering our progress correspondingly slow. Vith the exception ofa little variety made by passing successively the town of Angtawng, Promo, In, C/zainat, and Manor-om, and a beautiful view of the setting sun from the summit of fllozmt Terramamoo/2, and some large...
