"An introduction to one of the most exciting moments in the history of civilizations. During the four centuries that the Han dynasty ruled China (206 B.C.-A.D. 220), it prepared the ground for the main political, economic, social and cultural structures that were to characterize the Chinese world for two millennia. The Han empire was China's imperial Rome. ... Not only a lively narratie of life in Han China, but also an essential study of recent discoveries that will appeal to students and lovers of things Chinese." (dj). (Inventory #: 156227)
