Ancient China collides with newfangled America in this epic tale of opium smugglers, sea pirates, and dueling clipper ships.
Brilliantly illuminating one of the least-understood areas of American history, best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin now traces our fraught relationship with China back to its roots: the unforgiving nineteenth-century seas that separated a brash, rising naval power from a battered ancient empire. It is a prescient fable for our time, one that surprisingly continues to shed light on our modern relationship with China. Indeed, the furious trade in furs, opium, and bêche-de-mer--a rare sea cucumber delicacy--might have catalyzed America's emerging economy, but it also sparked an ecological and human rights catastrophe of such epic proportions that the reverberations can still be felt today. Peopled with fascinating characters--from the "Financier of the Revolution" Robert Morris to the Chinese emperor Qianlong, who considered foreigners inferior beings--this page-turning saga of pirates and politicians, coolies and concubines becomes a must-read for any fan of Nathaniel Philbrick's Mayflower or Mark Kurlansky's Cod. Two maps, and 16 pages of color and 83 black-and-white illustrations.

读后感
不得不说，这本书的封面设计为全书提分不少。五爪金龙和上下两条海水纹，都像是直接从清朝皇帝的龙袍上剪下来的。和醒目的书名放在一起，一眼就知道书里讲的是清朝时期的中美关系史。80后的高中历史教材把世界史和中国近代史分开来讲，让很多人无法很好地把这个时期的中国和世...
评分这是本月读到最优秀的一本书，佩服作者掌握史料的周全，但在驾驭上略孙一筹。如果驾驭得当，此书将获得更多读者的青睐。书中关于林则徐虎门禁烟、道光帝对待鸦片的反复态度，两次鸦片战争中中华帝国的得与失，剖析到位。林则徐在禁烟运动中的确做得过火了，否则不会爆发战争。
评分 评分在谈论中国与欧洲的相遇时，我们往往以乾隆时代的傲慢，反观天朝在礼仪上的傲慢，进而揭示中国的落后。作者不一样，他通过中国与美国的相遇，刻画了美国总统与满清皇帝，飞剪船船长与广州行商，部落首领与商业巨头的表现与态度，以类似纪实文学的形式，带领读者走入现场，感受...
评分美国和中国是当今世界最重要的双边关系之一，但早期中美关系的历史却鲜有人提及。《美国和中国最初的相遇》一书给提供了一种美国人的解读。书中涉及的历史人物众多，皆形象鲜明，如中国的乾隆、道光等皇帝，林则徐、关天培等官员，义律、琦善等来华的英国大员，浩官等中国商人...
