Early Japanese Railways 1853-1914: Engineering Triumphs That Transformed Meiji-era Japan (English Edition) Kindle版
Early Japanese Railways 1853-1914 is a cultural and engineering history of railway building in Japan during the Meiji era.
The importance of early railways in the industrialization of the United States and Europe is a fact all of us are familiar with. To witness the amazing parallel development of the railways in Japan, happening at much the same time as America was connecting its vast hinterland to the East and West coasts, is an eye-opening realization.
Early Japanese Railways, tells the fascinating story of the rise of Japanese rail amidst a period of rapid modernization during Japan's Meiji era. Leaving behind centuries of stagnation and isolation, Japan would emerge into the 20th century as a leading modern industrialized state. The development of the railways was a significant factor in the cultural and technological development of Japan during this pivotal period. Free's rare photographic and historical materials concerning Japan's early railways, including a print showing the miniature steam engine brought to Japan by Admiral Perry aboard his "Black Ships" to demonstrate American superiority, combine to form a richly detailed account that will appeal to students of Japanese history and railway buffs alike.
This one-of-a-kind book, Early Japanese Railways 1853-1914, illuminates for non-Japanese-speaking readers the early history of Japanese railroads and in the process the fascinating story of Japan's prewar industrial modernization. Anyone interested in train history or model trains will find this book a fascinating read.

レビュー
"Free details japan's first six decades of railway development accompanied by rare, historic photographs, postcards, maps, and woodblock prints. Free brings to life the events and people, while providing greater context in both Japanese and world history. " —Trains Magazine
"A rare example of a work that combines technical excellence and a plethora of information with a lively writing style that always gives the human element its due." —SamuraiArchives.com
"There is enough information here to satisfy the historian, but the old maps, postcards, drawings and dining car menus are a definite bonus for the more visually–oriented." —Shelf Awareness
"…a superbly researched and written book, one that leaves no stone unturned. I can heartily recommend it if you have an interest in Japanese railways. It should serve as an example to any author wiring a railway history–this is the way it should be done." —Losing Track --このテキストは、hardcover版に関連付けられています。

Lovely book
2024年2月23日にスペインでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
It is a nice easy reading. On the minus side, of course, is a lack of tecnical detail, above all regarding the locomotives, some photos are too small to see anything without a looking-glass, while some others are clearly oversized. A bit too many travellers’ stories, as the author is more inclined to re-create the atmosphere of early rail transport, rather than write a comprehensive rail history, but it is a nice book overall and given the quality of print makes a most pleasant feel.

Absolutely beditifully produced book. Fantastic piece of writing and illustration. Full of early Japanese history, the colonial powers and the inception of railways in Japan. I read it cover to cover (as my Great great Uncle was involved at turn of the 20th century - FIRST CLASS book. Love it. The cover is quite modest for the wealth of fantastic Japanese art snd old photos inside.

Dieses Buch gibt einen sehr gründlichen Überblick über die frühe japanische Eisenbahngeschichte und ordnet sie im sozialen, politischen und militärstrategischen Kontext der Meiji-Ära ein. Leider ist das Lektorat der Kindle-Ausgabe eher mittelmäßig (in einem Absatz finden sich z. B. drei verschiedene Schreibweisen für Ōtsu).

This book goes into very fine detail of the history and production of the early Japanese railways. Purchased for the historical aspects and must say that a train /railways enthusiast will love this book. Finally available in paperback, the author spent over twenty years compiling the information presented and I must applaud him for his dedication and obvious love for the topic. The book is full of rare photographs from the time period and believe that a lot of the information is not found anywhere else. Makes a fine addition to the library of Japanese History and/or railways lore.
