The look on the Other (five research studies on the way of assuming the strange, the cultures alien to the reality of the West. For this purpose, five revealing examples have been selected; the embassy sent by the king of Castile Henry III to the court of Tamerlane; The transfer of the Jesuit Antonio de Montserrat to India, with the intention of Christianizing the emperor Akbar. The friendships woven with him and the diplomatic missions that were entrusted to him, becoming the first Westerner to reach the Himalayas and map it. The arrival in China of the Jesuits Ricci and Pantoja, and their contribution to the dissemination of Western science in China. The Japanese reality in the Shogunate, its cultural changes and the fascination that these exerted in the West through Japanese prints. Finally, the adventure in the Indian revolts of Ruth Coopland, an "anonymous" English woman who daily records her misfortunes in those distant lands.)
