Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. xx, 489 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Summary:"The death of China's first emperor in 210 BCE initiated a brutal power struggle between Xiang Yu, Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, later founder of the Han dynasty; the lowly Han Xin also strove for advancement. For over 2,000 years, the resulting story has been celebrated in China. Even today its main protagonists are household names. This is an epic tale of courage and cowardice, honour and treachery, acted out by lords, officials and soldiers, mothers, wives and concubines, and has inspired great works of literature, performance and the arts. It is surprising, then, that only recently was a full version of this narrative translated into English by the same authors. A massive work, Western Han: A Yangzhou Storyteller's Script reproduces, transcribes, translateds and annotates a professional storyteller's script dating from the late Qing period. In Han Xin's Challenge, this story of the founding of Western Han has been made more accessible to the general reader without compromising the accuracy of the translation. Its text is also illuminated with artwork that brings the narrative to life and shows how it is embedded in Chinese culture, even today. The result is a sweeping drama, a page-turner, a story that anyone can enjoy"--Back cover. Seller Inventory # 19jbew410
