From the renowned historian and author of The Death of Woman Wang, a vivid and gripping account of the 16th-century missionary’s remarkable sojourn to Ming China
In 1577, the Jesuit Priest Matteo Ricci set out from Italy to bring Christian faith and Western thought to Ming dynasty China. To capture the complex emotional and religious drama of Ricci's extraordinary life, Jonathan Spence relates his subject's experiences with several images that Ricci himself created—four images derived from the events in the Bible and others from a book on the art of memory that Ricci wrote in Chinese and circulated among members of the Ming dynasty elite. A rich and compelling narrative about a fascinating life, The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci is also a significant work of global history, juxtaposing the world of Counter-Reformation Europe with that of Ming China.

Zustand: Bueno. : En 1577, el sacerdote jesuita Matteo Ricci partió de Italia para llevar la fe cristiana y el pensamiento occidental a la China de la dinastía Ming. Para capturar el complejo drama emocional y religioso de la extraordinaria vida de Ricci, Jonathan Spence relata las experiencias de su tema con varias imágenes que el propio Ricci creó: cuatro imágenes derivadas de los acontecimientos de la Biblia y otras de un libro sobre el arte de la memoria que Ricci escribió en chino y que hizo circular entre los miembros de la élite de la dinastía Ming. Una narración rica y convincente sobre una vida fascinante, El Palacio de la Memoria de Matteo Ricci es también una obra importante de la historia mundial, que yuxtapone el mundo de la Europa de la Contrarreforma con el de la China de los Ming.
