Riassunto

This volume contains Adolf Reichwein’s 1925 treatise, “China and Europe - Intellectual and Artistic Contacts in the Eighteenth Century”. This fascinating and insightful volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in the relation between East and West in the eighteenth century, and would make for a great addition to any collections of historical literature. Contents include: “The Younger Generation of To-Day and the Wisdom of the East”, “Brief review of the Contacts between Europe and China up to the End of the Eighteenth Century”, “The Economic Contacts―Literature on China―Opinions of the East”, “Rococo”, “Feeling of Style in the Rococo―Affinity of Feeling between Rococo and Ancient Chinese Culture”, etcetera. Adolf Reichwein (1898–1944) was a seminal German economist, educator and cultural policymaker for the SPD political party. He was also a resistance fighter in Nazi Germany. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
