Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peking the Goal, -the Sole Hope of Peace: Comprising an Inquiry Into the Origin of the Pretension of Universal Supremacy by China and Into the Causes of the First War; With Incidents of the Imprisonment of the Foreign Community and of the First Campaign of Canton 1841 And the immediate steps by which the cause of the West had been brought to this desiderated point; and attained, as it were by one bound, to 'the height of this high argnment, ' had not escaped your notice. - You observed that at the most critical moment, - when, as Dr. Bridgman afterward wrote, - "had there been only a little more "excitement, Canton might have become another Black Hole or the scene of indiscriminate slaughter." - Sir Charles Elliot suddenly appeared upon the scene of our imprisonment and wrought an immediate change in the whole character of the attitude in which the community stood toward the Chinese. - Rarely have a community so narrowly escaped a great disaster; and, rescued as we all felt we were from a sad fate, by his gallantry and consummate tact, no one failed to admire, also, the brilliant address by which he irrevocably fixed the responsibility of the Imperial Government; and thus made the high-handed acts of the renowned "queller of the barbarian spirit," - High Commissioner Lin, - the initial point of the new relations between the Christian Nations and China.

Download or read book Flood of Fire written by Amitav Ghosh and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stunningly vibrant final novel in the bestselling Ibis Trilogy It is 1839 and China has embargoed the trade of opium, yet too much is at stake in the lucrative business and the British Foreign Secretary has ordered the colonial government in India to assemble an expeditionary force for an attack to reinstate the trade. Among those consigned is Kesri Singh, a soldier in the army of the East India Company. He makes his way eastward on the Hind, a transport ship that will carry him from Bengal to Hong Kong. Along the way, many characters from the Ibis Trilogy come aboard, including Zachary Reid, a young American speculator in opium futures, and Shireen, the widow of an opium merchant whose mysterious death in China has compelled her to seek out his lost son. The Hind docks in Hong Kong just as war breaks out and opium "pours into the market like monsoon flood." From Bombay to Calcutta, from naval engagements to the decks of a hospital ship, among embezzlement, profiteering, and espionage, Amitav Ghosh charts a breathless course through the culminating moment of the British opium trade and vexed colonial history. With all the verve of the first two novels in the trilogy, Flood of Fire completes Ghosh's unprecedented reenvisioning of the nineteenth-century war on drugs. With remarkable historic vision and a vibrant cast of characters, Ghosh brings the Opium Wars to bear on the contemporary moment with the storytelling that has charmed readers around the world.
