Download or read book The Last Emperors written by Evelyn S. Rawski and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-11-15 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was the last and arguably the greatest of the conquest dynasties to rule China. Its rulers, Manchus from the north, held power for three centuries despite major cultural and ideological differences with the Han majority. In this book, Evelyn Rawski offers a bold new interpretation of the remarkable success of this dynasty, arguing that it derived not from the assimilation of the dominant Chinese culture, as has previously been believed, but rather from an artful synthesis of Manchu leadership styles with Han Chinese policies.

Download or read book Emperor Huizong written by Patricia Buckley Ebrey and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China was the most advanced country in the world when Huizong ascended the throne in 1100 CE. In his eventful twenty-six year reign, the artistically-gifted emperor guided the Song Dynasty toward cultural greatness. Yet Huizong would be known to posterity as a political failure who lost the throne to Jurchen invaders and died their prisoner. The first comprehensive English-language biography of this important monarch, Emperor Huizong is a nuanced portrait that corrects the prevailing view of Huizong as decadent and negligent. Patricia Ebrey recasts him as a ruler genuinely ambitious—if too much so—in pursuing glory for his flourishing realm. After a rocky start trying to overcome political animosities at court, Huizong turned his attention to the good he could do. He greatly expanded the court’s charitable ventures, founding schools, hospitals, orphanages, and paupers’ cemeteries. An accomplished artist, he surrounded himself with outstanding poets, painters, and musicians and built palaces, temples, and gardens of unsurpassed splendor. What is often overlooked, Ebrey points out, is the importance of religious Daoism in Huizong’s understanding of his role. He treated Daoist spiritual masters with great deference, wrote scriptural commentaries, and urged his subjects to adopt his beliefs and practices. This devotion to the Daoist vision of sacred kingship eventually alienated the Confucian mainstream and compromised his ability to govern. Readers will welcome this lively biography, which adds new dimensions to our understanding of a passionate and paradoxical ruler who, so many centuries later, continues to inspire both admiration and disapproval.

The story moves with a tremendous sweep from one adventure to another, and is a network of intrigue and misunderstandings and missed opportunities, It is a powerful portrait of the great Austrian dynasty of Europe containing scenes of wealth and privilege and dire responsibility. A prince strives to inspire his people with hope and courage, gathering his forces, and stimulating them into action. While he works hard in many ways to rescue his country from the plight into which it had been thrown and all the while searching for an even deeper understanding of life and wise judgment. Politicians, philosopher and pundits lend thoughts to the judgments made by rulers and commoners alike. Princesses and exotic women add their love for the arts and fashion and enticement. All of these qualities combined make a dynamic story line for a magnetic novel. A novel crowded with beauty and incident, the search for wisdom, ambition, and adventure. A living novel which unexpectedly makes you feel you are in a story filled with people you know personally.

Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes.

Book excerpt: Vile is my love for Miss Sophie, Versatile is her friendship to my heart. I am Theo, widely regarded as Prince Theodore in the Greek kingdom of 18th century which no longer held much fantasies in its shell as it did centuries back. Though I am well respected and cherished by the people of my hometown, people from the neighborhood hate me up to an extent no person can ever lay an asset on! I have power but still I feel powerless and the reason is my beloved who resides in the other side of the Greek Kingdom where conflicts of hate have recurred as if they were part of life. Sad was I, always been, to see people fight amongst the souls, who belonged to the two sides of the same coin since birth. Sad was I, because life merely seemed different to me out of the restrictions even I had to go through to meet my beloved who lived on the opposite side, already married, and happy with her own Prince, her own husband who gave her everything she wished for. Her family and her friends had always been everything to her and gratefully there was not a single moment when she felt that life was not a blessing but a mere tragedy. Our friendship had always been a secretive event to every single person who lived in the Greek Kingdom. The reason was simple, people from enemy states can't be friends! Never! Lovers, Never ever! Hardly was she ever aware of my feelings, my love but still she was well aware of the friendship we had. I knew my love was forsaken and nothing could make our story successful now, until one day she wrote me a letter and conveyed something I was never aware off. She deluded me, and I carelessly rushed on my way towards the rival state, despite being the reputed prince of my own Kingdom, Hellas, the one side of the same coin. I eventually met her, but what I saw next brought tears to my eyes...
