By focusing on the key colourful characters of the eight major dynasties, the author brings to life 3500 years of Chinese civilization. His view starts on the borders of myth. It moves on to the greatest achievements of language and thought, the cultural treasures and imperial palaces, wars won and lands lost to the Mongols, finally to arrive at the 1912 Revolution, which contained within it the seeds of Communism that ensured the overthrow of the last emperor.
