SinoMedia Holdings (HK) Limited Two Years in the Forbidden City
Book SynopsisFor two years, Princess Der Ling was the favorite lady-in-waiting to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the imperial palace in Beijing. This book provides a unique and surprisingly intimate portrait of the Dragon Lady, who ruled China for 47 years, and brought the country to the brink of destruction. Der Ling refers to the larger political context on many occasions. But the best parts of the book are the small details. What emerges is an intimate portrait of the life and personality of the Empress Dowager, and a sense of the inner workings of the highly secretive world of the imperial palace.Trade ReviewA fascinating insight into the world of the most powerful woman in China's history.A" -Paul French, author, Through the Looking Glass
