Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voices From the Orient: Or the Testimony of the Monuments, of the Recent Historical and Topographical Discoveries, and of the Customs and Traditions of the People in the Orient, to the Veracity of the Sacred Record I feel thankful to God for His merciful protection during my many wanderings in the far East. The spirit that finally culminated in a declaration of war in 1882 against Britain, and an appeal to arms was felt every day, in the bazaars, mosques, and other public places. Rumours of war were heard everywhere. The Mahommedans concealed their fierce hatred and haughty insolence by the thinnest veil, and only the fear of death restrained them from murder. Then it needed the utmost caution to visit Egypt in safety. To my congregation I feel grateful for their liberality, and also to a few intimate friends, by whose aid I have been enabled to realize one of my life desires.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to the Orient: Leaves From the Note-Book of Alice Pickford Brockway There would have been many more had we not requested them not to come. We felt we could not bear it. The afflictions and burdens of the past eight months had told on us, and we were pitiably weak and nerve-shattered. We were going now to try to forget some of these past experiences; though we could never forget the one dearer than life, whose weary body we had so recently laid to rest when her glorified spirit had ascended on high; and we prayed that, if it might be possible, she would be our guardian angel on all the long, long journey, and that God himself would go with us every step of the way. We could not realize even now that we were bound for China. The fact seemed like a dim unreality as we settled ourselves for the journey of three thousand miles by rail across the continent.

Download or read book Beyond East and West written by John C.H. Wu and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John C. H. Wu’s spiritual autobiography Beyond East and West was published in 1951, it became an instant Catholic best seller and was compared to Thomas Merton’s The Seven Storey Mountain, which had appeared four years earlier. It was also hailed as the new Confession of St. Augustine for its moving description of Wu’s conversion in 1937 and early years as a Catholic. This new edition, including a foreward written by Wu’s son John Wu, Jr., makes this profoundly beautiful book by one of the most influential Chinese lay Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century available for a new generation of readers hungry for spiritual sustenance. Beyond East and West recounts the story of Wu’s early life in Ningpo, China, his family and friendships, education and law career, drafting of the constitution of the Republic of China, translation of the Bible into classical Chinese in collaboration with Chinese president Chiang Kai-Shek, and his role as China’s delegate to the Holy See. In passages of arresting beauty, the book reveals the development of his thought and the progress of his growth toward love of God, arriving through experience at the conclusion that the wisdom in all of China’s traditions, especially Confucian thought, Taoism, and Buddhism, point to universal truths that come from, and are fulfilled in, Christ. In Beyond East and West, Wu develops a synthesis between Catholicism and the ancient culture of the Orient. A sublime expression of faith, here is a book for anyone who seeks the peace of the spirit, a memorable book whose ideas will linger long after its pages are closed.
Download or read book Orientalism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lalla Rookh: An Oriental Romance On this last occasion, Mr. Perry kindly offered himself as my representative in the treaty; and, what with the friendly zeal of my negotiator on the one side, and the prompt and liberal spirit with which he was met on the other, there has seldom, I think, oc curred any transaction in which Trade and Poesy have shone out so advantageously in each other's eyes. The short discussion that then took place, between the two parties, may be comprised in a very few sentences. I am of Opinion, said Mr. Perry, enforcing his View of the case by arguments which it is not for me to cite that Mr. Moore ought to receive for his Poem the largest price that has been given, in our day, for such a work. That was, answered the Messrs. Longman, three thousand guineas. Exactly so, replied Mr. Perry, and no less a sum ought he to receive.
