CIXI the Dragon Empress

Autor Natasha Yim Ilustrat de Peter Malone
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 oct 2011 – vârsta până la 13 ani
Ages 9 to 12 years. The last empress of China, Cixi fought ruthlessly to isolate her country from the West while cloistered inside her lavish Forbidden City and ignoring the needs of her people. Her extravagant lifestyle, bouts of bad temper, and brutal punishments earned her a reputation as a cruel and ignorant leader. An exploration of Cixi's daily life -- including what she ate and how she dressed -- this story explains how she became one of the most notorious figures of the Quing dynasty.
