Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade and Travel in the Far East: Or Recollections of Twenty-One Years Passed in Java, Singapore, Australia, and China The following pages were written to beguile the tediousness of a long voyage from Hong Kong to England, during the spring and summer of 1844. When I state, that the whole was written with the paper on my knee, for want of a desk, amid continual interruptions from three young children lacking amusement during their long confinement on shipboard, and with a perpetual liability to be pitched to leeward, paper and all, - I shall have said enough to bespeak from every good-natured reader a candid allowance for whatever defects may attach to the composition. It is necessary, however, that I should also premise, that the sketches are drawn entirely from memory, and that the incidents referred to in the earlier chapters, took place some twenty years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trade and Travel in the Far East: Or Recollections of Twenty-One Years Passed in Java, Singapore, Australia, and China My wanderings have been neither few nor short, and, perhaps, verify the old proverb, that a rolling stone gathers no moss. I have crossed the Ocean in forty different square-rigged vessels; have trod the plains of Hindostan, the wilds of Sumatra, and the mountains of Java; have strolled among the beauti ful hills and dales of Singapore and Penang; have had many a ga110p amid the forests and plains of Aus tralia; have passed through the labyrinth of reefs forming Torres Straits; and have visited the far famed Celestial Empire. My first idea, in endeavour ing to retrace my journeyings and adventures, was, that the personal narrative might serve to amuse a circle of private friends. But the notices relating to the Openings for Trade in the Far East, and to the subject of Emigration, together with the free stric tures upon the causes of the recent depress1on in our Australian colonies, will, I venture to hope, be not unacceptable to those who are interested in the exten sion of British commerce, and in the well-being of the rising communities which form an integral part of the mighty Empire now encircling the Globe.

This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Francis' Culture and Commerce in Conrad's Asian Fiction is the first book-length critical study of commerce in Conrad's work. It reveals not only the complex connections between culture and commerce in Conrad's Asian fiction, but also how he employed commerce in characterization, moral contexts, and his depiction of relations at a point of advanced European imperialism. Conrad's treatment of commerce - Arab, Chinese and Malay, as well as European - is explored within a historically specific context as intricate and resistant to traditional readings of commerce as simple and homogeneous. Through the analysis of both literary and non-literary sources, this book examines capitalism, colonialism and globalization within the commercial, political and social contexts of colonial Southeast Asia.
