In quel periodo la Cina, non l'Europa, era il centro del mondo: i viaggi esplorativi europei erano alla ricerca non solo di nuove terre ma anche di nuove rotte commerciali all'Estremo Oriente. In questo libro, Timothy Brook racconta in modo eloquente il mutevole panorama della vita nel corso dei tre secoli dei Ming (1368-1644), quando la Cina fu trasformata da un regno agrario strettamente amministrato in un luogo di profitti commerciali e intensa competizione per lo status. of Pleasure segna un significativo allontanamento dai modi convenzionali in cui è stata scritta la storia cinese. Piuttosto che raccontare la dinastia Ming in una serie di eventi politici e conquiste filosofiche, racconta questa longue durée nei termini delle abitudini e delle tensioni della vita quotidiana. Infarcito di storie di persone reali e delle loro negoziazioni su un mondo in rapido cambiamento, questo libro offre un nuovo modo di vedere la dinastia Ming che non solo contribuisce alla comprensione accademica del periodo, ma fornisce anche un'introduzione divertente e accessibile alla storia cinese per chiunque 607 $aCina$xCommercio$xStoria$zSec. 14.-17.$2BNCF 676 $a951.026 700 1$aBROOK,$bTimothy$f1951-$0979835 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 801 1$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 801 2$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996451650803316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aThe confusions of pleasure$92315262 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03417nam 2200637 450 001 996218374903316 005 20230107123852.0 010 $a0-470-77983-7 010 $a0-470-69008-9 010 $a0-470-70397-0 010 $a9786611319618 010 $a1-281-31961-9 035 $a(CKB)2670000000163242 035 $a(EBL)351394 035 $a(OCoLC)476172058 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000233109 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11185539 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000233109 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10219546 035 $a(PQKB)10698293 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC351394 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7076174 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7076174 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000163242 100 $a20230107d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aReading the modern British and Irish novel, 1890-1930 /$fDaniel R.
