Soft Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: n/a. Second edition. Originally published in 1900 as Palace Tales the book is an attempt to rescue from oblivion one phase of life in the Mandalay Palace in the times of the Burmese Kings. The Burmese King and Queen were sent into exile in India by the British occupation force in 1886 and memories of the old days started to fade. These stories are all founded upon tales told to the author. They are not history nor are they intended to apply to any one king or queen. They are illustrations only of the lighter side of life there, of the amusements and the trivialities of the Palace. They are the little sunny places in the record of a semi-civilized court whose more serious history consisted of plot and intrigue, violence and murder. But there was laughter in the palace as well as sorrow, sunshine as well as tears. 139 pp. Size: 21 x 15 cm.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of a community having an internal connectedness and shared interest, rather than an external one based on individual rights and responsibilities. The author traces the theme throughout history, from the common land ownership of English villages and their independent councils, through the feudal system, to the loss of village autonomy and the rise of private land ownership. The dispossession of the village communities, the author claims, resulted in a loss of freedom and happiness. The text explores the resurgence of community spirit in the Elizabethan era, when the old ecclesiasticism had been abolished and feudalism had waned. However, the author argues that this spirit was short -lived, and that the subsequent rise of individualism and capitalism led to the decline of community and the problems we face today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
