Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:During the 1680s, the Jesuit missionaries made the last great attempt of the seventeenth century to realise the project that sought to link Europe and China via an overland route. This attempt unfolded symmetrically and almost simultaneously against the backdrop of Peking and Paris. The objective was to find a trans-Siberian route, a novelty as compared to all the attempts and plans that had been drawn up in the past. In brief, it sought to make the most of the opportunities that had been opened up by the rapid Russian progress towards the Pacific and the resulting consolidation of Moscow’s empire in Siberia.
