Sommario/riassunto |
|
It was one of the great encounters of world history: highly educated European priests confronting Chinese culture for the first time in the modern era. This "journey to the East" is explored by Brockey as he retraces the path of the Jesuit missionaries who sailed from Portugal to China. |
