More about the book

Matteo Ricci's journey as a Jesuit in late Ming China reveals a complex interplay of cultural adaptation and religious conversion. His efforts to blend Christianity with Confucian ideals sparked both admiration and controversy among Chinese elites, leading to friendships and conversions. However, persistent misunderstandings and disagreements highlighted the challenges of cross-cultural communication. This exploration of Ricci's relationships offers fresh insights into the dynamics between Europe and China, illuminating the historical context of their competitive yet complementary interactions.
