Lords
of Things: The Fashioning of the Siamese Monarchy's Modern Image
by Maurizio Peleggi
Book Description: Lords of Things offers an intriguing interpretation
of modernity in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Siam by focusing
on the novel material possessions and social practices adopted by the royal
elite to refashion its self and public image in the early stages of globalization.
It examines the westernized modes of consumption and self-presentation,
the residential and representational architecture, and the public spectacles
appropriated by the Bangkok court not as byproducts of institutional reformation
initiated by modernizing sovereigns, but as practices and objects constitutive
of the very identity of the royalty as a civilized and civilizing class.
Bringing a wealth of new source material into a theoretically informed
discussion, Lords of Things will be required reading for historians of
Thailand and Southeast Asia scholars generally. It represents a welcome
change from previous studies of Siamese modernization that are almost exclusively
concerned with the institutional and economic dimensions of the process
or with foreign relations, and will appeal greatly to those interested
in transnational cultural flows, the culture of colonialism, the invention
of tradition, and the relationship between consumption and identity formation
in the modern era.

The
Story of Anna and the King
by Cecelia Holland
Book Description: Here is the real story behind the woman who
inspired a bestselling biography, one of the top Broadway musicals of all
time, and two classic films--and it's one that will surprise you. The epic
love story between a British governess and the King of Siam once again
comes to life with the release of Twentieth Century Fox's Anna and the
King starring Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster and international
superstar Chow Yun-Fat.
The Story of Anna and the King captures all the nuances of this extraordinary
relationship, as well as the extravagant film depicting it, in lush, full-color
photographs. Cecelia Holland weaves a beautiful narrative of the true histories
behind Anna Leonowens and the Siamese royal family, as well as the political
and cultural rises and falls of Siam--present-day Thailand--based on historical
information and the published works of Anna Leonowens.
Filmed entirely in Malaysia, Anna and the King features one of the largest
motion picture sets ever constructed--the King's Palace, which covers more
than eight acres of land. Under the direction of Andy Tennant, an internatonal
cast and crew representing more than twenty countries works with a myriad
of stunning ornate costumes, thousands of extras, and a menagerie of specially
trained animals, The Story of Anna and the King invites you to enter King
Mongkut's world.

Days : My Life and Survival in a Bangkok Prison
by Warren Fellows
Book Description: In the late 1970s, author Warren Fellows and
two of his friends had the perfect scheme: they would traffic heroin between
Australia and Thailand, concealing it flawlessly in high-tech, invisible
compartments in suitcases. The money was there, and the process seemed
foolproof--especially because they hadn't gotten caught in all their prior
attempts at smuggling. But in 1978, all that would change, and Fellows
would spend the next twelve years of his life enduring violations of his
human rights of unimaginable hideousness.
Fellows, convicted in Thailand, spent these twelve years in Bangkok's
infamous Bang Kwang prison, witnessing atrocities committed by both prison
officials and his fellow inmates. He survived countless torturous beatings,
was forced to eat rats, and endured solitary confinement under terrifyingly
inhumane conditions. On a daily basis, Fellows also witnessed the torture
and execution of those around him, their screams as common as the insects
and vermin in his cell. Many of the prisoners in Bang Kwang turned to heroin--the
vice that landed Fellows there in the first place--to escape their daily
nightmares, and the prison guards often helped feed this deadly addiction.
Fellows, now a free man, has lived to write about these twelve ghastly
years. He has captured the filth, pain, anger, hopelessness, and torture
of life in a Thai prison with vivid, engrossing detail and brutal honesty.
