Four Images and a Composite Picture 330 $aPraised 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. 606 $aEast and West$zAsia$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xCivilization$xOriental influences 607 $aAsia$xDiscovery and exploration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEast and West$xHistory. 676 $a940 700 $aLach$b Donald F$g(Donald Frederick),$f1917-2000.$061060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455579003321 996 $aAsia$9375656 997 $aUNINA
