About This Item

London: HarperCollins, 2008. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is price clipped. First edition, First printing. xvi + 368 pages. 30 main illustrations plus illustrations in the text. The brilliance of the European Renaissance laid the foundation of the modern world and textbooks tell us that it was the result of the re-discovery of the ideas and ideals of classical Greece and Rome. But now, Gavin Menzies makes the startling argument that in the year 1434, China - then the world's most technologically advanced civilization - provided the spark that set the Renaissance ablaze. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1C. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
