A dramatic historical narrative of the man who stole the secret of tea from China
In 1848, the British East India Company, having lost its monopoly on the tea trade, engaged Robert Fortune, a Scottish gardener, botanist, and plant hunter, to make a clandestine trip into the interior of China-territory forbidden to foreigners-to steal the closely guarded secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing. For All the Tea in China is the remarkable account of Fortune's journeys into China-a thrilling narrative that combines history, geography, botany, natural science, and old-fashioned adventure.
Disguised in Mandarin robes, Fortune ventured deep into the country, confronting pirates, hostile climate, and his own untrustworthy men as he made his way to the epicenter of tea production, the remote Wu Yi Shan hills. One of the most daring acts of corporate espionage in history, Fortune's pursuit of China's ancient secret makes for a classic nineteenth-century adventure tale, one in which the fate of empires hinges on the feats of one extraordinary man.

上班搭瞭同事很久的車,自然遠離瞭地鐵圖書館,所以節約上班時間的同時,少瞭很多讀書時間。但願傢門口的地鐵早日開通吧。 這本書整體感覺很一般。不過越是這種觀點不算鮮明的原汁原味作品,更容易仁者見仁。比如有人或許會惋惜茶葉的外流讓中國失去瞭賺迴白銀的機會,有人覺得...
評分本來是懷著極大的興趣買本書來閱讀的,但是看過之後不免失望。 失望的原因主要來自作者的視角,一種並不帶有這個時代(作者的時代)該有的關懷去描述當時福均在中國的所見所聞。雖然事情發生在150多年前,當時人們的視角肯定和現在人不一樣,但是作者也並沒有采用客觀的曆史角...
評分三星給書,多加一星因為茶。 此書大概就講清楚瞭一個問題,那就是維多利亞時期之後,英國人更喜歡紅茶勝過綠茶的基本原因,還有流行於世界的斯裏蘭卡,大吉嶺,阿薩姆紅茶的來源,都是來自從中國盜取的茶葉樹和種子。 本書想要刻畫福鈞這一因為英國殖民擴張産生的一代植物學傢...

圖書標籤: 曆史 英國 茶 History 飲食 茶葉神偷 茶葉 國
非常好讀,很有意思,一點都不枯燥,對茶葉文化,那個時期的國際環境和中國的風土人情都有介紹。就好像是跟著Robert Fortune一起遊歷瞭一番
評分subtitle標題黨啦,robert fortune是隻scot弗是english好伐。再講照箇種邏輯,工業化國傢儕偷瞭大英一百年偷瞭美國兩百年。
評分隻看瞭kindle版本的試讀(第一章),寫的挺引人入勝的
評分寫得跟曆史課本似的
評分以前沒聽說過英國人偷走中國茶的故事。
