The history of Macau is a topic little known in Poland, which is emphasized by the author, Elżbieta Potocka. This book aims to fill this gap, offering readers an insight into the fascinating history of this place. Macau, although often overlooked in tourist guides, hides a rich history and culture that deserves attention. The author has undertaken the difficult task of telling this story, based on her knowledge and experience.

This book is the result of the meeting of two worlds, functioning for nearly half a millennium under the Portuguese flag, but in the shadow of China. The author, equally skilled in the fields of diplomacy, science and literature, looks at it, as is often the case with a fragmentary study of a titanic dragon, in a very personal way, often differently than many other, often loud creators. This specificity of narration is the greatest advantage of the book. Prof. Jakub Polit emphasizes that this is a valuable position for all those who want to know more about Chinese history and better understand today's China.

Elżbieta Potocka's book is not only a collection of dry historical facts, but also a personal reflection of the author on the fate of Macau. Thanks to this, the reader can better understand the specificity of this place and its importance in the context of Chinese and world history. The author, with sensitivity and erudition, leads us through the mazes of Macau's history, showing its unique character and cultural richness. This book is a real treat for all lovers of history and culture who want to expand their knowledge about this fascinating place.
