Editor notice :

"In this informative and entertaining book, once and for all, J. Marshall Unger thoroughly demolishes the notion that Chinese characters directly convey meaning without any reference to specific languages and cultural contexts."

J. Marshall Unger is professor of Japanese and chair of the Department of East Asian Languages and Literature at Ohio State University.


Marshall Unger présente et s'amuse des fausses pistes historiques qui ont conduit les européens à lier écriture égyptienne et écriture chinoise. Amusant et donnant de nombreuses références.
