The Heart of Pekin: Bishop Favier's Diary of the Siege, May-August 1900 is a historical account written by Alphonse Favier, a French Catholic bishop who witnessed the Siege of Peking during the Boxer Rebellion. The book is a compilation of Favier's diary entries during the siege, which lasted from May to August of 1900. Favier chronicles the events of the siege, including the Boxer Rebellion's attacks on foreign legations in Peking, the international military response, and the eventual relief of the besieged foreigners. The diary provides insight into the daily life of the besieged, including the shortages of food and water, the constant threat of attack, and the efforts to maintain morale. In addition to his personal observations, Favier also includes historical context and background information on the Boxer Rebellion, as well as his own reflections on the role of Christianity in China. The book provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Chinese and world history, as well as a glimpse into the mind of a dedicated religious leader during a time of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
