The Emperor's Terracotta Warriors: Qin Shihuangdi and the Quest for Eternal Life. Who was Qin Shi Huangdi? And why does an entire army of terracotta soldiers still guard his tomb today? This elaborately designed art book tells the story of the First Emperor of China, a coolly calculating yet superstitious ruler, whose massive terracotta army became more famous than he himself. Numerous colorful illustrations depict the stages of his almost fairy-tale life, marked by wars, intrigues, and the relentless search for immortality. A glossary with listening options and interesting additional information round off this exciting insight into Chinese history.
