This engagingly written study presents a rich picture of a dynamic society that had torn itself away from the mediocrity of its past--a stagnant nation of peasants and fishermen--to pursue an overseas empire that led to great financial wealth and a highly sophisticated cultivation of the arts. This classic work first appeared in English translation in 1963.
