Reviews

“The book considers how technological innovations and transport improvements (such as the train, motorcar, and bike) dramatically transformed perspectives and intensified European experiences of the Asian space. Its authors offer a combination of detailed text interpretations with well-presented theoretical insights. This excellent and highly readable book will fascinate specialists and non-specialists alike”. Wojciech Tomasik, Professor of Polish Literature and Culture, Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland “This is an important new contribution that not only fills gaps in our knowledge but also opens new avenues for research. This collection will remain a reference point in imagology for many years”. Zoran Milutinović, Professor of South Slav Literature and Modern Literary Theory, University College London, UK
