He was Minister of Information from 1962 to 1966, establishing the rules of presidential debates between the two electoral rounds. He served as Minister of Justice from 1977 to 1981, and was involved in the affair surrounding the mysterious death of Robert Boulin in 1979. He became a member of the Académie française in 1977.
This is the story of a failed attempt by the British, in 1793, to open the Chinese Empire to Western trade. Led by Lord Macartney, whose distinguished diplomatic posts included India and the Caribbean, the enormous British expedition of nearly 700 men included doctors, scholars, painters, musicians, soldiers and young aristocrats, and lasted more than two years, and its success would have redefined the history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author has made use of a variety of sources, including, on the British side, the diary of the 12-year-old Thomas Stanton, son of Macartney's deputy, who was the only person in the whole English fleet who spoke Chinese, and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's officials, all annotated by the Emperor himself.

评分【注】本段摘自此书第二章“人类个主人”,主要介绍18世纪英国个心态,上层对商业个心相,以及对打开东方市场个渴望。本身同马嘎尔尼后势来到满清帝国个旅程无直接关系,但好算是蛮重要个背景情况介绍,因此在此地摘录一眼,方便横向理解。 海上霸权一般会让拥有此类霸权个民族...
