Il giardino cinese è uno dei leitmotiv storiografici delle indagini sul ‘700; una storiografia principlamente delienata a partire da fonti europee, e punto di vista europeo. In questo volume l’approccio si inverte. Oggetto di studio è un giardino occidentale costruito a Pechino in età moderna, analizzato alla luce dei principali concetti filosofici che animavano il fare giardini in Cina (fonti e concetti non noti ai più anche per difficoltà linguistiche). Utilissimo.
