The Great Within

Maurice Collis

Edité par Faber and Faber, London, 1942

As photographed; private ownership; gilt spine lettering and decoration, slightly faded; gift inscription to ffep; otherwise unmarked and clean throughout; 349pp incl. index + 16pls + 3 maps, 1 folding. Maurice Collis here gives a comprehensive account of "the interactions of China and Europe from the seventeenth century till the present day" (prefatory note). He makes it clear in this preface that the book is not written for the sinologue, for the Chinese scholar and specialist, but for "that large and intelligent public whose reading takes it occasionally upon a tour of China". The success of the book on publication and beyond is ample evidence of how well Collis achieved this aim. N° de réf. du vendeur 6013-14
