Recenzje

A deeply researched, charming and very moving account of a French missionary's long life in a Manchurian village from 1900, when he experienced the Boxer Uprising, to 1948 when he was murdered shortly after the Chinese Communists took over the area. At the Frontier of God's Empire is impressive for its deep knowledge of both the Chinese and French context and uses these materials to engage interestingly with recent discussions of empire and the interactions of the local and the global.
