Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, set in the 1870s, describes the experiences and challenges faced by a Temperance advocate in Shanghai, China. The author, a strong believer in the benefits of sobriety, founded a Sailors Rest as a place for seafarers to congregate without succumbing to the vices so prevalent in Shanghai at that time. Using his personal experiences, the author describes the efforts made to eradicate drunkenness, opium dens and brothels from the city. Along the way, he discusses the role of alcohol in society, the benefits of a temperate lifestyle, and the importance of morality and community support. These efforts proved successful, transforming Shanghai into a model settlement, the author's experiences acting as an inspiring example of the power of one person to change societal ills. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331196150_0
