A History of Chinese Civilization Paperback - 1985

by Jacques Gernet; J. R. Foster (Translator)


From the publisher

Written with an elegant and flowing narrative, the essential virtue of Jacques Gernet's classic book is to see the history of Chinese civilization as a whole. Yet within the synthesis of the trends - social, political, religious, scientific, artistic that make up China's past and present, the author never loses sight of the telling detail which brings history to life. A History of Chinese Civilization is illustrated with a wide range of photographs, many maps, line drawings and tables. A detailed chronological table and full bibliography complement the text.

First line

Finally, further south, Malaya and the big islands of South-East Asia are the domain of the languages known as 'Malayo-Polynesian', a domain which in fact extends eastwards to Melanesia, northward to the island of Taiwan (Formosa) and westward to Madagascar.
