Biographies & Memoirs

From the celebrated author of "Raise the Red Lantern" comes his first novel in almost ten years--a chilling yet enormously entertaining tale about a pampered and nave 14-year-old prince, who finds himself, suddenly and unexpectedly, named Emperor of China. First published in Chinese 1992; this translation 2005.
