My Life as Emperor Zusammenfassung

My Life as Emperor Su Tong

Opening with a child's ascension to the Chinese throne, Su Tong's latest novel charts the complexities of courtly life, as a boy of few talents is suddenly thrust into a position of power. An extraordinary and chilling dramatisation of the dark side of nation-building, it is also a deft exploration of the failings of human nature.

My Life as Emperor Bewertungen

"'Powerful and elegant. The world he so vividly depicts has the timelessness of a classical Chinese court painting, and at least as much cruelty as a traditional romance. Readers brought up on the Chinese historical novels of Pearl Buck or the quasi-historical sagas of Mary Renault will revel in the serpentine atmosphere and voluptuous prose.' Independent 'Su Tong's Xie empire is a dreamlike, beautiful, brutal place [and] his prose is full of gorgeous images.' Sunday Times"

Über Su Tong
