Dragon, Chameleon or Chinese Mosaic? Tomasz Ewertowski Images of China in Polish and Serbian Travel Writings (1720–1949), Brill Rodopi, Leiden – Boston 2020.

Summary/Abstract: This article is a review of Tomasz Ewertowski’s book from 2020, which is an innovative publication in the field of Slavic studies both in terms of the choice of topic, its comparative approach and the method of analysis and interpretation of sources. So far, there has not been an equally extensive, comprehensive, exhaustive (though not closed), systematizing discussion of the issue announced in the title, a discussion that would present such an in-depth analysis of meticulously collected sources. The author of the publication comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to create a common, generalized image of China that would emerge from these analyses.
