Histoire de la Chine en BD #1

A sweeping introduction to Chinese civilization in comics form, this first volume by Jing Liu opens with a striking red-and-white cover depicting the Great Wall snaking across dramatic mountain terrain, with armored soldiers on horseback silhouetted against the sky above an ancient palace complex below. Spanning from the legendary Yellow Emperor all the way to the Han Dynasty (2697 BCE to 220 CE), it's an ambitious and beautifully presented primer on thousands of years of Chinese history. For readers curious about the deep roots of one of the world's great civilizations, this 2019 Editions Sully release makes a genuinely compelling starting point.
