Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Relations between Asia and Europe have always been complex and dynamic. While the East was considered to be paradise on earth, the source of light and origin of all prosperity, Europe also expected history to end there. There were many reasons to visualise the Asian continent not only as a broader, greater world, but also a fascinating but challenging, enticing but alarming counterworld. In 22 multifaceted and extensive studies on travel, Folker Reichert examines the multifarious relations that Europe and Asia maintained with each other in the Middle Ages.
