Wraps. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition.

Marco Polo had described it and been disbelieved"); 'Moral Poison' ("To those on the outside, opium was a great comforter. For as long as its effects lasted, it banished hunger pains and despair - even if it sometimes made them worse afterwards"); The Company and Its Monopoly ("Above all else, the opium trade was vital to the solvency of the East India Company - which is to say the solvency of the Indian Government"); An Integral Part of English Culture ("The English opium trade was at the time absolutely uncontrolled. Use remained free until the Great War - when it was only one among many freedoms to be lost. While reliable figures were kept, between 1827 and 1859, British opium consumption rose from 17,000 lb to 61,000 lb"); The Chinese Lost; The Collapse of the Chinese Empire; The Example of China and the Choice for Europe.
