À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the years 1920-21, Bertrand Russell found himself in Peking (Beijing), where he immersed himself in the vibrant intellectual climate of the time, later publishing this thought-provoking book upon his return to England. Fresh from a visit to Bolshevik Russia, where he was less than impressed by Lenins regime, Russell discovered a different narrative in China. Like many travelers, he projected his ideals onto the nation, spotting glimmers of hope amidst the shadows of the past. Welcomed by enthusiastic young intellectuals who viewed him as a beacon of modern and scientific thought, he faced a dilemma they sought to break free from traditional constraints, while he advocated for a balance between embracing innovation and preserving the rich heritage that could guide their future. Nearly a century later, the quest to understand China—now a vastly different entity from Russells observations—continues to challenge the world.
