Klappentext

Revisit the epic battles waged nearly 2,000 years ago, as rival warlords and states vied for power and the once-mighty Han dynasty crumbled. In just 44 chapters, this dynamic retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Four Great Classic Novels, captures the Homeric struggle for dominance between three rival kingdoms: Wei, Shu, and Wu. Each sought to outmaneuver the others, seizing the fragments of a crumbling empire to forge a new dynasty. Each boasted a formidable array of brilliant strategists and fearless warriors, and each had its share of both spectacular triumphs and catastrophic blunders. At the heart of this grand struggle were the three leaders themselves-- Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan-- in a contest of cunning, character, and sheer will. Glory and infamy, triumph and fiasco-- the torrents of the Yangtze River roar eastward, still whispering the names of the heroes from long ago. This masterful retelling, accompanied by many vibrant illustrations, is a true page-turner. A breathtaking saga of stratagem, intrigue, and empire, it is a story that continues to captivate after two millennia.
