具体描述
This is the story of a failed attempt by the British, in 1793, to open the Chinese Empire to Western trade. Led by Lord Macartney, whose distinguished diplomatic posts included India and the Caribbean, the enormous British expedition of nearly 700 men included doctors, scholars, painters, musicians, soldiers and young aristocrats, and lasted more than two years, and its success would have redefined the history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author has made use of a variety of sources, including, on the British side, the diary of the 12-year-old Thomas Stanton, son of Macartney's deputy, who was the only person in the whole English fleet who spoke Chinese, and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's officials, all annotated by the Emperor himself.

读后感
在虹口图书馆看到这本书的时候，想起好像是老师推荐阅读的书，而且看起来很老的样子，出版年代是1993年。由于我一直觉得西方学者写中国的书，尤其是旧版本的，应该都是一些很经典的书，所以，在好几次错过之后，这个暑假还是把它借出来了。而且现在在考虑要不要把何伟亚的《怀...
评分在文明的梯子上 说起几千年悠久的历史文化传统，我们总不免心神荡漾，喜形于色。但反顾现实，我们多又能清醒地意识到，我们尚未孵化出一个现代化的社会，我们尚处于“发展中”的落后、追赶地位。俗话说：“晨起的鸟儿有虫吃”。但岁月浩瀚、底蕴深厚如此，却不见有...
评分还有两本书是，一本是怀柔远人．还有一本就是马回忆录本身 佩雷菲特不是专业的历史学者，此书突出的其实是中国历史的停滞，认为中国自古以来其实没有什么发展变化，历史循环而已．并且结合毛时代的中国来说明中国历史的停滞性，所以魏菲德评价这本书说政治意味太浓，以至影响...
评分两百年前，英国的马戛尔尼勋爵带着乔治三世的国书，以给乾隆祝寿的名义带领着庞大的使团历经10个月的航行与1973年7月抵达天津大沽口外，并于9月14日在承德避暑山庄觐见了乾隆皇帝。 当时，英国是率先实现工业革命和拥有绝对制海权的西方第一强国，而中国则一直是东方最庞大、...
评分终于看完了这本500页厚的书，这是我早就关注的书了，但说实话，通读完并没给我所想象的震撼，现在毕竟不同于几十年前。但是的确它提供了一个外国人看中国的独特视角。 这本书最大的特点就是对资料的占有，作者通过使团的文件和日记，传教士的通信以及连一般中国人都不得...
