Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book presents a panoramic narrative of one of history's most pivotal and dramatic epochs: the unification of China under the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, and the profound, enduring legacy of his short-lived but monumental dynasty. It is a story that resonates through the millennia, a foundational saga of how a single will, tempered in fire and blood, can forge a nation and shape the destiny of a civilization. The story begins not with a triumphant emperor, but with a vulnerable child-king, Ying Zheng. Born into the brutal world of the Warring States period, his early life was a struggle for survival. The Qin court was full of intrigue, where power was the only currency. Growing up in this environment, surrounded by regents and ministers whose ambitions often overshadowed their loyalty, fundamentally shaped his character. It was in these formative years that he learned the paramount lessons of power: that trust was a liability, that strength was the ultimate virtue, and that a ruler must be as ruthless as the times demand. His ascent to full authority was a precarious and hard-fought journey, a relentless climb to secure a throne that many sought to usurp. The narrative then chronicles the epic military campaign that defined his reign-the conquest and annexation of the six rival states. This was not merely a series of battles, but a colossal undertaking that crushed ancient kingdoms and extinguished rival courts, imposing a singular vision upon a vast and diverse land. This audacious project inevitably provoked fierce resistance, spawning legendary tales of heroism and desperation, including assassination attempts carried out by patriots seeking to slay the tyrant and avert their people's subjugation. The book delves unflinchingly into the immense human cost of this grand ambition. The creation of a unified China was built upon foundations of bone and forced labor. Colossal projects-the standardizing of script, currency, and thought; the construction of a vast network of roads and the early fortifications of the Great Wall; the building of a sprawling, subterranean palace-tomb-were all achieved through the toil of millions. This duality of breathtaking vision and utter brutality defines the Qin era; it was an age where a ruler, proclaiming himself a god-king, toured his domain while seeking to control the very intellectual landscape, going so far as to suppress scholarly dissent in a notorious act of ideological purification. Yet, the empire, for all its terrifying efficiency, proved brittle. The death of the First Emperor created a vacuum that triggered a swift and catastrophic unraveling. The poisonous conspiracy at the highest levels of government placed a weak and pliable heir on the throne, leading to a bloody purge of the old guard and capable officials. The very authoritarian structure that enabled the Qin's meteoric rise now became the engine of its destruction, as widespread rebellions, sparked by peasant desperation and aristocratic ambition, ignited across the land. The book culminates in the dynasty's dramatic collapse and its paradoxical, world-shaping legacy. It explores the silent, eternal army of terracotta warriors-a stunning archaeological testament to one man's power and paranoia. It also analyzes the enduring pillars of the unified state he created. While the Qin dynasty itself was ephemeral, its foundational bureaucratic and administrative structures were not. The victorious Han dynasty performed a masterful act of political alchemy, inheriting the Qin's potent Legalist framework but softening its harsh edges with the moral and ethical philosophy of Confucianism. This synthesis created a stable, enduring model of governance that would last for two millennia. This is the ultimate story of the Qin: how a tyrant's draconian dream of order, though achieved at a horrif Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
