Description

Softcover, 288 pages, ENG / CHI, 215 x 140 x 17 mm, in good condition, however here and there some notes, but further okay, illustrated in colour / b/w. very interesting book, ISBN 9789810508654. In this pictorial series in English and Chinese, this is the story of Zheng He, navigator and diplomat in China?s Ming Dynasty, who made seven successive voyages to xiyang over a period of about 30 years. Research in recent years has suggested that Zheng He's voyages may have preceded those of other explorers such as James Cook, Magellan and Columbus, sending shock waves through the world history arena. What cannot be argued is that the epic voyages of Zheng He, presented here in illustration and with 32 color images, are an important chapter in world navigation history.
