ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Many men have left a mark in the field of military strategy. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, the Cid, Napoleon... But there is one other, always shrouded in mystery, whose influence has survived to this day. He is Sun Tzu, the Chinese general who bequeathed a manual to posterity, now turned into a universal classic: The Art of War. This is his story.
Sixth century AD. Ancient China. A great war is coming. The old Zhou dynasty has crumbled and several vassal states fight to seize control. Mighty King Hëlu asks a young general for help, dazzled by his fearless insight into military tactics. His daring ideas, sometimes even excentric, baffle the enemy and grant them an astounding victory.
This novel touches on the life of a hero as celebrated as he is mysterious, all at once taking us on a journey to a remote place and time, reconstructed after an extensive documentation work.
Throughout these pages, the reader will not only accompany Sun Tzu in countless battles, but also through constant perils in a merciless court and in his passionate story of forbidden love with one of the king's concubines.
