Recenzii
[I]s a worthwhile set of critical essays based around twelve different French travel accounts concerned with Asia (from the Ottoman Empire to China) and produced during the seventeenth century. . . . In many ways the quality of reflection on the Asian world, as embodied in the genre of travel writing, is something the French did managed to contribute to, thereby sowing the seeds for the foundation-rocking relativism of the eighteenth century that acceptance of high cultures in Asia produced. The present book constitutes a useful exploration of this theme.
[E]ffectively illustrate the tensions of empire and the synergism intrinsic to imperial projects, and demonstrate the seventeenth-century French expansionsism was not simply driven by economic and political motives, but also, carried out in a spirit of wonder and fascination.
