How dear these were to him then, may be found in the inspired record. Earnest ly and thrice he prayed, that if it were possi ble the bitter cup might pass from him. This was not possible, unless, at that awful moment, he had given up the work of man's redemption. But in this mighty work, he yielded not, he faltered not. For the joy that was set before him he endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Imperial Twilight
Author: Stephen R. Platt
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0345803027
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
As China reclaims its position as a world power, Imperial Twilight looks back to tell the story of the country’s last age of ascendance and how it came to an end in the nineteenth-century Opium War. As one of the most potent turning points in the country’s modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today’s China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to “open” China even as China’s imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country’s decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China’s advantage. The book paints an enduring portrait of an immensely profitable—and mostly peaceful—meeting of civilizations that was destined to be shattered by one of the most shockingly unjust wars in the annals of imperial history. Brimming with a fascinating cast of British, Chinese, and American characters, this riveting narrative of relations between China and the West has important implications for today’s uncertain and ever-changing political climate.
