Here is the book that took the world by storm, and then was lost.
In 1817 Thomas Hope began work on a book that was destined to
astonish the West by lifting the curtain of ignorance which had
encouraged enmity against the East. Hope s hero Anastasius was
fearless, curious, cunning, ruthless, brave, and above all, sexy.
Born the son of a respected Greek dragoman, he converted to Islam
early on, a move which allowed the renamed Selim to take the reader
along as he journeyed deep into the vast and dangerous Ottoman
Empire. During the 35 years described in the book (1762 1798) the
swashbuckling Anastasius/Selim infiltrated the deadly Wahhabis in
Arabia, rode to war with the Mamelukes in Egypt and sailed the
Mediterranean with the Turks. He was imprisoned, shipwrecked and
hunted. He embraced lovers, killed enemies and had his heart broken
forever in Trieste. In Anastasius can be found some of the most
eloquently written English since Shakespeare. When completed in
1819, it was a work of such academic interest, raw excitement and
descriptive power that the fabled London publisher, John Murray,
released it. The first edition was an overnight sensation and the
second sold out in twenty-four hours. Foreign editions quickly
followed. This remarkable new edition features all three volumes
together for the first time. Plus, in a series of commissioned
Appendixes, an international team of academic experts have examined
Hope s life, political impact and artistic legacy, the latter being
a ground-breaking investigation of the famous portrait of the
author depicted as a noble of the Ottoman Empire. In accordance
with its academic mission, the royalties of this new edition are
being donated to the National Portrait Gallery. To have discovered
this book in 1819 would have opened a portal into a forbidden part
of the world which the average reader could never have expected to
visit. Yet open the book today and Anastasius will once again weave
his enchanting tale of travel, love and war, all the while
demonstrating the human harmonies still linking East and West.
From principles of oxygen delivery and patient assessment, through
rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia and tracheal intubation, to
the difficult and failed emergency airway, this book from an expert
team of clinicians guides the reader through every aspect of
emergency airway management. Retaining the concise, accessible
format of the first edition, it includes a new section on human
factors and improving teamwork and performance, an expanded special
circumstances section, and a summary of the 4th National Audit
Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and Difficult Airway
Society and its implications for practice. Updated guidelines, new
technologies such as videolaryngoscopy, and recent evidence have
all been incorporated into the chapter content, ensuring that the
book reflects best current practice. This thoroughly updated new
edition remains an essential resource for navigating a highly
challenging clinical scenario and will be of value to emergency
medicine, intensive care, anaesthesia and acute medicine
clinicians.
