[Teltscher] appears to be equally at home in late 18th~century London, the Calcutta of the East India Company, the court of the Panchen Lama in Tibet and the stupendous world of the Qianlong Emperor, the Son of Heaven, with his attendant concubines, eunuchs and soldiers. The power of this book depends on Teltscher's ability to negotiate the leaps between these radically different cultures." ~PATRICK FRENCH, The Sunday Times (London) ~THE HIGH ROAD TO CHINA traces two extraordinary journeys across some of the harshest and highest terrain in the world: the first British expedition to Tibet and the Panchen Lama's state visit to China to mark the Emperor's seventieth birthday. In the late eighteenth century, with their empire expanding, the British sought a commercial opening to China, from which European traders were banned; and they saw a possible advocate in the Panchen Lama, the spiritual leader of the Buddhist people of Tibet. In the hope of gaining access to Peking, the British envoy, a young Scot named George Bogle, entered into negotiations with the Panchen Lama's envoy, a Hindu monk and trader, and then with the Incarnate himself. All the while, he kept a journal~his prose by turns playful, self~deprecating, grandiose, and shrewd~and this remarkable document enables Kate Teltscher to make the meeting of two worlds palpably real. The High Road to China brings the pleasures of narrative prose to bear on a remarkable moment in history, one whose effects are still being felt. N° de réf. du vendeur 11301305
