Very interesting read, 5 Jun 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chan's Great Continent (Hardcover)

This book offers an interesting portrait of China from the time of Marco Polo (13th century) to present day. As with all of Spence's books, the level of detail is sufficient yet not overwhelming. The book recounts numerous passages by various travelers who visited China over the course of 700 years. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in Chinese history or to anyone interested in learning about how the West has viewed China past and present.
