Promotional Details
"[…] Tomasz Ewertowski’s book Images of China in Polish and Serbian Travel Writings is the best way to get to know in detail how we experienced this distant land of our close friends over time." - in: Letopis Matice srpske Vol. 507 (2021), no. 1-2, p. 212-218
"The circle of potential readers of this book is extremely wide. It should be of interest to scholars of Polish emigration (e.g. the Polish community in Harbin), but also to all those who study travel writing from the perspective of literary studies; finally, it can make an extremely important contribution to the discussion of European representations of the Far East." - in: Balcanica Posnaniensia. Acta et studia Vol. 27 (2020), p. 241-242
"Based on a large corpus of texts, brilliantly problematised, and cognitively valuable, the work might be especially noteworthy for travel writing studies specialists and literary and cultural studies researchers." - in: Pamiętnik Literacki, 3/2023, p. 242-249
"Using imagology-based tools, Ewertowski refers to the mental representations of reality recorded in the text in the form of stereotypically formed ethnotypes. Ewertowski creates a mosaic of the way travellers from the West imagined both Chinese cities and the characteristic features of Far Eastern culture, which is often marked by Eurocentrism and an evaluating attitude towards the Other." - in: Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne. Seria Literacka 40 (60), p. 241-252
