This monumental series, acclaimed as a "masterpiece of comprehensive scholarship" in the New York Times Book Review, reveals the impact of Asia's high civilizations on the development of modern Western society. The authors examine the ways in which European encounters with Asia have altered the development of Western society, art, literature, science, and religion since the Renaissance. In Volume III: A Century of Advance, the authors have researched seventeenth-century European writings on Asia in an effort to understand how contemporaries saw Asian societies and peoples.

This book is a biographical and illustrated account of the life of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French national who traveled extensively for almost forty years of his life—travels that took him to most of the European countries, to the Ottoman Empire, to Persia, to Southeast Asia, and to India. This writer cannot think of any other personality, at any time in history, who wandered around for so long and for so far. Tavernier has a number of achievements to his credit—achievements of having written extensively on the areas he traveled, the people he met, and the diverse activities he pursued. His memoirs became a blockbuster in the seventeenth century, outshining any other publication of the time—even of those who were known to be heavy with ideas.
First systematic, inclusive study of the impact of the high civilizations of Asia on the development of modern Western civilization.

Jacques Tavernier... Ce nom ne dit rien au public. Et pourtant il aurait pu faire partie de ces têtes d'affiches qui ont brillé en lettres de néon sur le devant de l'Olympia dans cette période exaltée d'après-guerre. Il s'en est fallu de peu...

Seule Marie-Josée Neuville a pu tirer son épingle du jeu. Notre père était pourtant sorti co-finaliste...
