Product Description 1792: une escadre anglaise emporte vers la Chine la premire ambassade de S. M. britannique, conduite par lord Macartney.1794: le lord est de retour. Mission accomplie? Non. Un choc de cultures s'est produit. Un choc frontal.Macartney et ses compagnons, sur la foi des tmoignages jsuites, imaginaient avant leur dpart un empire trs volu, sur lequel rgnait le plus clair des despotes. Les marchands occidentaux parqus Canton ont tent en vain de les dtromper. Une collision s'ensuivit entre la civilisation chinoise, ritualise et immuable, et celle flexible et conqurante, des Anglais. Ses consquences allaient lentement bouleverser les mentalits, puis la plante.La vision des Chinois (1992) a montr l'empereur Qianlong et ses mandarins recevant l'allgeance du roi d'Angleterre, puis expulsant le Barbare insoumis.Le regard des Anglais, centr sur la prparation et le droulement de l'ambassade ainsi que sur les relations qui en furent faites, retrace, travers des tmoignages le plus souvent indits, l'volution de l'ide que les Britanniques se font de la Chine: leur opinion passe peu peu de lasinophilie utopique unesinophobie mprisante que nous ne retrouverons nullement dansL'oeil des missionnaires, dernier tome de notre trilogie.Tous ceux qui ont reconnu dans l'aventure relate parL'Empire immobile une page prmonitoire de l'Histoire de l'humanit, trouveront dans ces trois ouvrages un complment indispensable.
