Description
The first volume of Michal Tomášek's book is dedicated to the historical comparison of legal systems in the Far East (China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam) up to the reception of Western legal institutions in the nineteenth century. It uncovers connections without which one cannot understand the differences between contemporary Far Eastern law and the systems of continental Europe and the Anglo-American system, whose comparison will be the subject of the second volume. The engaging text of our leading expert on Chinese law does not shy away from colorful details and does not overlook the philosophical and religious context, ensuring that the book will appeal not only to specialists but also to a broader readership. The exposition is documented with a rich visual accompaniment.
