Description

Dive into the dazzling, bureaucratic, and occasionally disastrous world of ancient China with The Empires of Time: The Han Dynasty's Rise and Fall. Heinrich Wilson returns with another hilariously blunt and oddly educational look at one of history's greatest empires — the Han.

From civil wars to silk exports, imperial feasts to palace drama featuring backstabbing eunuchs and philosophical overthinkers, this satirical romp walks you through the highs and lows of a golden age that couldn't quite hold it together.

Perfect for history lovers, casual readers, and those who like their emperors roasted lightly with sarcasm, this book proves once again that every empire rises, shines, and trips over its own robes.

Because even China's greatest dynasty couldn't escape karma — or paperwork.
