Tells the story of the first Jesuit mission to China. This title shows how, confronting enormous challenges, the Italian priest Matteo Ricci and a tiny handful of learned companions gained permission from the notoriously xenophobic Wanli emperor to settle in this fabled Forbidden City and preached the virtues of Western art and science.
