A collection of stories about China’s first emperor based on historical records and popular legends.
Emperor Qin Shihuang established the Qin Dynasty, the first centralized and unified regime in China’s history, and history has judged Emperor Qin Shihuang with both praise and blame. Some of the stories in this book come from historical records about the life of the Emperor, and some are based on popular legends adding highly coloured details about him. These two sources complement each other and provide a comprehensive look at Qing Shinhuang and his reign.
