All'inizio del diciannovesimo secolo la cina rimase pressoché incontaminata dalle potenze britanniche ed europee, ma quando la nuova tecnologia iniziò a modificare questo equilibrio, gli stranieri si radunarono come lupi attorno all'indebolito impero qing. I cinesi avrebbero subito la sorte di gran parte del resto del mondo, tagliati a pezzi dagli europei? oppure avrebbero potuto adattarsi abbastanza rapidamente da mantenere la loro indipendenza? questo libro importante e avvincente spiega le radici della complessa relazione della cina con l'occidente illuminando un periodo drammatico, colorato e talvolta scioccante della storia del paese.
