Paperback. Condition: Very Good. China is the most exciting rising power in the world today. The explosive growth of its economy and the possibility that it might soon become the next superpower, dominant in East Asia and influential in every part of the world, has attracted universal interest, admiration and envy. Most histories of China approach that huge and populous country through the story of its dynasties, its struggle to defend its borders and its internal politics. Harry Gelber's "The Dragon and the Foreign Devils" is the first history for the general reader to tell the story of China from the outside as well as from the inside. It explores the relationships involved, from the incursions into China of steppe horsemen around 200 BC to the Mongol conquests of the thirteenth century AD, from the first arrival of European travellers to China's decline, after 1911, into an object of the policies of the major powers, and on to the Revolution on 1949 and the Tienanmen Square protest in 1989. It explains what moved these minor and major foreign societies and how concerns with China fitted into their own major interests and views of the world. And, it outlines the recurring cycles of Chinese history, from turmoil and disorder to strong central government and back to turmoil. Informative text boxes elaborate on particular people, topics or key moments to complement the main narrative. These mini-essays deal with a wide range of topics from 'Confucius' and 'Concubines' to 'Tea' and 'Silk', and from the debilitating influence of the last nineteenth-century empress, 'Cixi', to the decisive influence on the 1941-45 Pacific War of the US Navy's ability to read 'Japanese naval codes'; and from 'Madame Chiang's' glamour to 'Mao's Sexual Habits'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

First ed., large 8vo., 437 p., 20 color and b/w plates. Paperback. New ISBN: 9789750817489 CATALOG: Caucasus & Central Asia KEYWORDS: China Asia World History Far East 21. yuzyilin heyecan verici ulkelerinden biri Cin. Ekonomisinde yasanan muazzam patlama ve ilerde superguc olma ihtimaliyle, Asya'nin dogusundan yayilarak neredeyse dunyanin her tarafinda etkisini hissettirmekle kalmiyor, merak, hayranlik ve korku da yaratiyor. Yuzyillar boyunca Cin, kendisine katilan herkesi Cinlilestirirken, aslinda genelde disaridan gelenler tarafindan yonetilmis bir ulke. Modern donem oncesinde, farkli hanedanlarin hukum surdugu bu topraklar gelisen kultur, hukumdarlarin dunyanin diger yorelerine dudak bukmesine yol acmisti. Orta Asya'nin bozkirlarindan gelen Cengiz Han ve Mogol atlilari olsun, Ortacag'da Ipek Yolu'nu izleyerek gelen Marco Polo ve diger Avrupali seyyahlar olsun, Cin nezdinde uygarlastirilmalari gereken yabancilardi. Bu buyukluk hissi, Avrupa'daki degisimlerin etkisiyle 17. yuzyildan itibaren kiyilarina gelen gemiler ve sinirlarini zorlayan yerlesimcilerin baskisiyla erimeye, Cin topraklari dogrudan ya da dolayli olarak yabancilarin idaresine gecmeye baslar. 20. yuzyil ise, tum dunyada oldugu gibi savaslarin calkantilariyla gecerken, Cin'in komunizm etkisiyle yeniden birligini olusturmasi ve gururlu bir yukselise gecmesine zemin olusturur. Iste Cin ve Dunya, Cin tarihini ozellikle yabancilarla iliskiler uzerinde odaklanarak kat ediyor, yukselis ve calkanti oruntusunun nasil tekrarladigini gostermeye calisiyor. Harry G. Gelber, anlatisini renklendirecek bazi cikmalar yaparak, "Konfucyus"ten "Mao'nun cinsel yasami"na , "ipek" ve "cay"dan "Madam Can'in cazibesine" bazi ilginc konulari da aydinlatiyor.
