Produktbeschreibung
Inside the lives, scandals, and splendor of Ming China's imperial ruling family. Sons of Heaven is the first accessible, newly researched account in English of the imperial family who ruled Ming China (1368-1644), one of the country's most dynamic and influential eras. Beginning with a fresh look at what a dynasty really was, the book follows the lives of emperors, empresses, relatives, and those who came into the imperial orbit. Uniquely drawing from official and unofficial Chinese primary sources, including gossip-rich "wild histories," it presents a more intimate, complex picture of court life--its politics, personalities, and pleasures. Moving beyond stereotypes, the book highlights the power, intrigue, and humanity of Ming rule. Richly illustrated with period art that brings the imperial world to life, this book is a compelling portrait of dynasty as lived reality.
