[Teltscher] appears to be equally at home in late 18th~century London, the Calcutta of the East India Company, the court of the Panchen Lama in Tibet and the stupendous world of the Qianlong Emperor, the Son of Heaven, with his attendant concubines, eunuchs and soldiers. The power of this book depends on Teltscher's ability to negotiate the leaps between these radically different cultures." ~PATRICK FRENCH, The Sunday Times (London) ~THE HIGH ROAD TO CHINA traces two extraordinary journeys across some of the harshest and highest terrain in the world: the first British expedition to Tibet and the Panchen Lama's state visit to China to mark the Emperor's seventieth birthday. In the late eighteenth century, with their empire expanding, the British sought a commercial opening to China, from which European traders were banned; and they saw a possible advocate in the Panchen Lama, the spiritual leader of the Buddhist people of Tibet. In the hope of gaining access to Peking, the British envoy, a young Scot named George Bogle, entered into negotiations with the Panchen Lama's envoy, a Hindu monk and trader, and then with the Incarnate himself. All the while, he kept a journal~his prose by turns playful, self~deprecating, grandiose, and shrewd~and this remarkable document enables Kate Teltscher to make the meeting of two worlds palpably real. The High Road to China brings the pleasures of narrative prose to bear on a remarkable moment in history, one whose effects are still being felt.

Paperback. Condition: New. 'A glorious green adventure story.' Ann Treneman, The Times 'Books of the Year''The most enthralling historical book I've read this year.' Claire Tomalin, New Statesman 'Books of the year' Daringly innovative when it opened in 1848, the Palm House in Kew Gardens remains one of the most beautiful glass…buildings in the world today. Seemingly weightless, vast and yet light, the Palm House floats free from architectural convention, at once monumental and ethereal. From a distance, the crowns of the palms within are silhouetted in the central dome; close to, banana leaves thrust themselves against the glass. To enter it is to enter a tropical fantasy. The body is assaulted by heat, light and the smell of damp vegetation. In Palace of Palms, Kate Teltscher tells the extraordinary story of its creation and of the Victorians' obsession with the palms that filled it. It is a story of breathtaking ambition, of scientific discovery and, crucially, of the remarkable men whose vision it was. The Palm House was commissioned by the charismatic first Director of Kew, Sir William Hooker, designed by the audacious Irish engineer, Richard Turner, and managed by Kew's forthright curator, John Smith, who battled with boilers and floods to ensure the survival of the rare and wondrous plants it housed.
