Asia in the Making of Europe by Donald F. Lach (English) Paperback Book

Description: Asia in the Making of Europe by Donald F. Lach First systematic, inclusive study of the impact of the high civilizations of Asia on the development of modern Western civilization. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Praised for its scope and depth, "Asia in the Making of Europe" is the first comprehensive study of Asian influences on Western culture. For volumes I and II, the author has sifted through virtually every European reference to Asia published in the sixteenth-century; he surveys a vast array of writings describing Asian life and society, the images of Asia that emerge from those writings, and, in turn, the reflections of those images in European literature and art. This monumental achievement reveals profound and pervasive influences of Asian societies on developing Western culture; in doing so, it provides a perspective necessary for a balanced view of world history."Volume I: The Century of Discovery" brings together "everything that a European could know of India, Southeast Asia, China, and Japan, from printed books, missionary reports, traders accounts and maps" ("The New York Review of Books"). "Volume II: A Century of Wonder" examines the influence of that vast new body of information about Asia on the arts, institutions, literatures, and ideas of sixteenth-century Europe. Author Biography Donald F. Lach is the Bernadotte E. Schmitt Professor Emeritus in modern history at the University of Chicago.
