The Story of the Mikado (Classic Reprint) by William Schwenck Gilbert Pdf

The Story of the Mikado is one of the many fantastic operettas written by renowned duo Gilbert and Sullivan. During their 25 year partnership the pair wrote 14 comic operas The Mikado being one of their most popular shows along with HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance. The Mikado is a wonderful example of their brilliant playwriting skills and has been performed worldwide since its first appearance in 1885. The play is set in Japan, which allowed Gilbert to write in a highly satirical way about British institutions and politics by disguising them as Japanese constitutions. The story follows that of the young love of Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum and the troubles they face trying to be with one another. It is a highly comical play with great music that complements the witty libretto brilliantly. This version is also beautifully illustrated by Alice B. Woodward which adds a lovely appeal to the book. For those who are avidly interesting in the famous twosome or those just entering their world this is a wonderful play for both young and old; a great classic for the whole family to enjoy.

Progress in the Mikado's Empire (Classic Reprint) by Robert Cornell Armstrong Pdf

Excerpt from Progress in the Mikado's Empire This book will be best appreciated by those who are best informed. It must not be measured by its sise, for it has been compressed deliberately. In eight tightly-packed chapters, Dr. Armstrong has managed somehow to place before us in a clear, vivid and living way the story of Japan from those semi mythical, semi-historical times when Japan began to be, down to these aspiring, expanding, mighty, and yet dangerous days of the present.

The Mikado's Empire (Classic Reprint) by William Elliot Griffis Pdf

Excerpt from The Mikado's Empire I have studied economy in the matter of Japanese names and titles, risking the charge of monotony for the sake of clearness. The schol ar will, I trust, pardon me for apparent anachronisms and omissions. For lack of space or literary skill, I have had, in some cases, to con dense with a brevity painful to a lover Of fairness and candor.

Thirty Days in the Land of the Mikado (Classic Reprint) by Edward Valentine Price Pdf

Excerpt from Thirty Days in the Land of the Mikado I wish to impress upon all that I am not following in the footsteps of many of our British cousins who, after making a thirty-day tour of our own country, return home and proceed to write a history of the U. S. A. This is merely a daily log, hastily written, where I have jotted down a few of the many sights that came under my observation and how they impressed me at the time. Much of my information is meager and no doubt many of my conclusions not technically correct, but as this little log will not be the foundation for a text book, or the basis of any political campaign, it will probably pass for what it is intended, merely a few moments' entertainment for those of my friends who can not, as well as those who will not, spare the time necessary to make this delightful tour.

The Mikado's Empire, Vol. 1 of 2 by William Elliot Griffis Pdf

Excerpt from The Mikado's Empire, Vol. 1 of 2: Book I. History of Japan From 660 B. C. To 1872 A. D A cycle of Cathay, which in science and practice comprises sixty years, has elapsed since President Millard Fillmore - the ini tiator Of the Japan expedition Of 1852 - began friendly relations. With the Mikado's empire. Under President Taft, in 1912, the noble precedent Of honoring Asiatic as well as European nations in their bereavement, by sending a special envoy in high Office to attend the emperor's funeral Obsequies, has been inaugurated. With the de cease of Mutsuhito the Great, the glorious era Of Meiji, or Enlight ened Government, ceases, and that Of Taisei, or Great Righteousness, under Yoshihito, the 124th Mikado, begins. In an added chapter in this twelfth edition I have noted not only a few of the great facts and events since 1906, but have also given the philosophy and in terpretation of them. Perhaps one, who in 1850, as a child, saw the launching Of Commodore Perry's flag - ship, and has during his adult life studied with sympathy the Japanese, has some right to do this. Indeed, I have reason for believing - after a lifelong acquaintance with the Japanese - that they do not ask for their country or them selves any favor beyond a just understanding Of their motives and aims, and this I have ever striven to attain.

Star-Spangled Mikado (Classic Reprint) by Frank Kelley Pdf

Excerpt from Star-Spangled Mikado The New Mikado sat back in his overstuffed chair, lit the famous corncob pipe, stabbed the air with a half-filled matchbox and said: "Gentlemen, even after fifty years among the Orientals, I still do not understand these people." The speaker was General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. The place was Tokyo. The time was January, 1946, six months after his invasion of the unknown. On September 2, 1945, on the broad deck of the Missouri, he had sternly bade the Japanese to write an end to fifteen years of aggression. His voice was firm, but his hands shook - perhaps betraying advancing years. A stumpy-legged Japanese, looking slightly ridiculous and out of place amid all the freshly starched khaki and shining gold braid, stepped up to the table in top hat, cutaway, striped trousers. The Japanese scratched his name on the dotted line. The formalities of surrender were complete. For MacArthur, it was the end of the road, the long road back from Bataan and Corregidor. For the Japanese, it was defeat, their first in two thousand years of history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Mikado by William Elliot Griffis Pdf

Excerpt from The Mikado: Institution and Person, a Study of the Internal, Political Forces of Japan From the launching in 1850 of Commodore Perry's flagship, the Susquehanna, which I wit messed, to the end Of the life Of Mutsuhito the Great, in July, 1912, and the world events in 1915, my interest in Japan has never flagged. The present volume was written in large part during the lifetime Of the august monarch, but the manuscript was withheld for much the same reasons Of delicacy that prompt one to refrain from publishing the letters Of a friend in the lifetime Of their writer. In this age, however, the people who revere their great ruler's memory should fear neither the light Of investigation nor the revelation Of a human life, in however exalted a position. Mikadoism is the symbol of all that is dear to the Japanese; yet, like all social forces, Whether religion, or the magic Of a great name, or the national flag, the dogma is Often abused by its so - called friends, is made an unnecessary engine of cruelty, or is debased to selfish or mercenary purposes.
