Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. China is one of the oldest states in the world and the largest nation on Earth. It achieved its approximate borders with the ascendancy of the Yuan dynasty in the thirteenth century, and, regardless of the passing of one imperial dynasty to the next, has maintained them for the eight centuries since. Chinas has remained China through the Ming, the Qing, the Republic, the Occupation, and Communism. But despite the desires of some of the most powerful people in the Great State through the ages, China has never been alone in the world. It has had to contend with invaders as well as foreign traders and imperialists; for the majority of its history, its rulers have not been Chinese. Timothy Brook contends that China became a mega-state not by conquering others but rather by being overtaken and then claiming the right of succession to the empires of their conquerers. What the Mongol and Manchu ruling famiies wrought, the Chinese ruling families of the Ming, the Republic, and the People's Republic have perpetuated. Yet a contemporary chinese idea of a "fatherland" that is, and always has been, completely and naturally Chinese persists. Brook argues that China is a product of its history, relying on its capacities to conquer and suppress. In GREAT STATE, Brook examines China's long-term relationship with the world for the first time, from Khubilai Khan's founding of the Yuan Great State in 1271 to its transformation into the global power it is today. Weaving together stories of ordinary and extraordinary people, GREAT STATE is a compelling portrait of war, diplomacy, vassalage, religion, and international trade. It is a story of the world with China at its heart. HARPER, HARDCOVER, 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING. THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The world-renowned scholar and author of Vermeer's Hat does for China what Mary Beard did for Rome in SPQR: Timothy Brook analyzes the last eight centuries of China's relationship with the world in this magnificent history that brings together accounts from civil servants, horse traders, spiritual leaders, explorers, pirates, emperors, migrant workers, invaders, visionaries, and traitors--creating a multifaceted portrait of this highly misunderstood nation.China is one of the oldest states in the world. It achieved its approximate current borders with the Ascendancy of the Yuan dynasty in the thirteenth century, and despite the passing of one Imperial dynasty to the next, has maintained them for the eight centuries since. China remained China through the Ming, the Qing, the Republic, the Occupation, and Communism. But despite the desires of some of the most powerful people in the Great State through the ages, China has never been alone in the world. It has had to contend with invaders as well as foreign traders and imperialists. Its rulers for the majority of the last eight centuries have not been Chinese.China became a mega-state not by conquering others, Timothy Brook contends, but rather by being conquered by others and then claiming right of succession to the empires of those Great States. What the Mongols and Manchu ruling families wrought, the Chinese ruling families of the Ming, the Republic, and the People's Republic, have perpetuated. Yet a contemporary Chinese idea of a 'fatherland' that is, and always has been, completely and naturally Chinese persists. Brook argues that China, like everywhere, is the outcome of history, and like every state, rests on its capacities to conquer and suppress.In The Great State, Brook examines China's relationship with the world at large for the first time, from the Yuan through to the present, by following the stories of ordinary and extraordinary people navigating the spaces where China met, and continues to meet, the world. The Great State includes a 16-page color insert. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780062950987
