Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A slim booklet that reads like a garish flash of the nineteenth century: The Chinese Opium Smoker does not unfold in chapters, but in twelve stark pictorial plates tracing the 'career' of an addiction-from the first 'harmless' puff to social, physical, and familial ruin. Originally circulated as Chinese moral cartoons in public spaces, these scenes were here translated and annotated for a British audience: a visual indictment of a vice, and at the same time of those who profited from it.The dramaturgy is relentless. The plates move from seduction and secrecy to self-deception, the collapse of work and reputation, the selling off of possessions, the breakdown of relationships-culminating in utter destitution. Precisely because the booklet relies on images, it achieves a striking immediacy that feels surprisingly modern, almost like an early documentary 'graphic narrative' about addiction and colonial political economy.The visual sequence is complemented by revealing contemporary documents, including pointed letters from Chinese statesmen to British representatives that lay bare the moral and political core of the opium question. In this way, the booklet becomes more than a moral tract: it stands as a historical piece of evidence-disturbing, provocative, and uncannily relevant. 49 pp. Englisch.…
