Sobre este artículo
Bangkok: White Lotus, 2002. The 1688 revolution in Siam ended the first European attempts to penetrate the kingdom. King Narai, a sick man even before the outbreak, died two months' later a prisoner in his own palace in Lopburi, displaced but still nominally king. The revolution was followed by the reversal of an unpopular foreign policy, dependence upon France, and at the same time a severe rebuff was delivered to Louis XIV' advisers, who aspired to subvert Siam's national religion by attempting to convert the King to Roman Catholicism. The memoir by Father Beze, a Jesuit priest, was discovered in 1936 in the Morrison Library in Tokyo. It was written in response to a request by the author's religions superior for information and relates vividly the events that occurred during the upheaval, which involved the court, foreign powers as well as the Greek adventurer, Constans Phaulkon. A fascinating and important first-hand account of one of the pivotal moments Thailand's medieval history. 179 pp., 32 b&w plates, 2 maps (1 fold-out).. Third edition, revised.. Soft Cover. New. 21 x 13 cm..
