圖書描述

Richard Maurice Tinkler was an ordinary man in an extraordinary time and place. This riveting "biography of a nobody" offers a rare glimpse of imperialism and the making of modern China seen from the perspective of a working-class Englishman enforcing the order of everyday life on the streets of Shanghai. Culled from Tinkler's many personal letters, Empire Made Me meticulously documents his astonishingly revealing life in the service of the British Empire between 1919 and 1939, one of hundreds of young men who joined the Shanghai Municipal Police. Responsible for maintaining order in Shanghai's International Settlement, the SMP expanded and enforced British dominion in China's most important political, commercial, and cultural center. Tinkler would have remained just another anonymous and forgotten colonial policeman were it not for his unexpected death, at the hands of Japanese marines and an incompetent local doctor, in June 1939. His suspicious death created a noisy diplomatic incident that was picked up by journalists and splashed across the front pages of Britain's newspapers. Many of Tinkler's personal letters survived, and they describe his personal life in unusually vivid detail, including his relationships, his knowing masculinity, his travels, and his bitter meditations on his lowly position in a powerful but waning empire. Robert Bickers absorbing biography uses Tinkler's letters as well as extensive archival research to tell the story of this man's everyday life and violent decline in a colonial world -- a story that offers an uncommonly candid history of twentieth-century imperialism.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

這本書英文原版和中文譯本搭配銷售的，翻瞭幾頁中文譯本後果斷決定看原版。曆史係教授的用詞相當生僻，偶爾也不乏幽默。從一個帝國中的小人物齣發，講述他人生的起伏。很多時候一個人在離開故鄉之後，與傢人不光是地理上的遙遠，更是情感上的疏離，漸行漸遠的感覺。帝國中的一分子，並不是人人都那麼容易生存，在這本書中我看到的是更多普通百姓生活的艱辛，哪怕他是一名在中國的英國人，身在異鄉的不易。很佩服他居然學會不少上海話。。。

默默无闻的主角经历一战洗礼后和许多看不到本土前景的同侪一样漂洋过海来远东闯荡一战后这种向帝国各地的移民行为有增无减，塑造了一批具有英国特征，却和本土若即若离的帝国臣民。上海虽然并非英帝国直辖领地，但巨大的商业利益，超过七十载的经营建设以及愈发摩登的生活环...

多数中国读者对这本书感兴趣或许是因为书名中的“旧上海”，确实，理查德•廷克勒这个落拓的英国士兵在上海的经历本身折射出那个年代作为“冒险家乐园”的上海集天堂与地狱于一身的魔力。尽管这是一个不为人知的小人物（即便在英国也不会有多少人知道），但正因此，他生活中...
