Omslag till Donald Wigal: Die Faszination des Opiums (ePUB)

War das 20. Jahrhundert ein langer Krieg der Wirtschaft um den Besitz von Ölquellen, so war im 19. Jahrhundert das Opium als strategisch einsetzbares Produkt so wichtig wie heute das Öl. Es wurde das erste Tauschmittel mit dem damaligen China, das den “Barbaren” verschlossen bleiben wollte. Der Opiumkrieg (1840 bis 1842) erlaubte dem Abendland, sich einen Absatzmarkt in China zu eröffnen und den Chinesen, sich dem vermeintlichen Vergnügen, ihre Opiumpfeifen zu rauchen, hinzugeben. Im 19. Jahrhundert bezeichneten Intellektuelle das Opium als Die schwarze Fee. Dieses Buch erzählt, bebildert mit einer schönen, aus alten Fotos, Pfeifen etc. zusammengesetzten Ikonografie die Geschichte des Opiums.
