Empress Dowager CIXI : the concubine who launched modern China / Jung Chang. - London : Vintage Books, 2013. - 506 stron, [24] strony tablic : fotografie ; 20 cm.
Empress Dowager Cixi (1835–1908) is the most important woman in Chinese history. She ruled China for decades and brought a medieval empire into the modern age.
In this groundbreaking biography, Jung Chang vividly describes how Cixi fought against monumental obstacles to change China.
Based on newly available, mostly Chinese, historical documents such as court records, official and private correspondence, diaries and eyewitness accounts, this biography will revolutionize historical thinking about a crucial period in China’s-and the world’s-history.
Packed with drama, fast paced and gripping, it is both a panoramic depiction of the birth of modern China and an intimate portrait of a woman: as the concubine to a monarch, as the absolute ruler of a third of the world’s population, and as a unique stateswoman.
