Synopsis
This book, based on unpublished documents and outstanding contemporary pictures, recounts the complex dealings between the West and China, from the first hesitant trading contacts to the years of colonialism and the fall of the Imperial monarchy, when the seeds of the Maoist revolution and present-day China were sown.
The book takes a historical approach, but also pays homage to the art and creativity of the Chinese, whose masterpieces are portrayed here as evidence of their inimitable style and culture.
