Book Description
To the eyes of Europeans, far-distant China was long covered by a veil of mystery that not even Marco Polo and other great travellers succeeded in lifting. Only the industrial and commercial revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries allowed us to discover the history, the immense cultural riches and the vibrant life of the Celestial Empire. This volume, making use of previously neglected historical documents and pictures, retells the events that marked the complex relationship between the West and China until the fall of the Empire. The book takes a narrative- historical approach, but also fully presents the art and creativity of the Orient, including many masterpieces as evidence of China's inimitable culture and style.
