New title out now! Early Modern Overseas Careers edited by Igor Iwo Chabrowski and Natalia Królikowska–Jedlińska explores the question of why subjects of Polish kings, Transylvanian princes, or Habsburg emperors dreamed of venturing overseas with the colonial merchants or aspired to work as missionaries in China and Japan.
