{"product_id":"9781137512253","title":"The Chinese Language in European Texts","description":"This detailed, chronological study investigates the rise of the European fascination with the Chinese language up to 1615. By meticulously investigating a wide range of primary sources, Dinu Luca identifies a rhetorical continuum uniting the land of the Seres, Cathay, and China in a tropology of silence, vision, and writing. Tracing the contours of this tropology, \u003ci\u003eThe Chinese Language in European Texts: The Early Period\u003c\/i\u003e offers close readings of language-related contexts in works by classical authors, medieval travelers, and Renaissance cosmographers, as well as various merchants, wanderers, and missionaries, both notable and lesser-known. What emerges is a clear and comprehensive understanding of early European ideas about the Chinese language and writing system.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003ePalgrave Macmillan US\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 4401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dinu Luca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41243890450610,"sku":"9781137512253","price":1880970.0,"currency_code":"IDR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/1137512253.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1635557476","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/en-id\/products\/9781137512253","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
