Sinossi
In 1847, an unlikely meeting in southern China ignited one of the most extraordinary uprisings in world history. When American missionary Issachar Roberts (fictionalized here as Elijah) encounters the village scholar Hong Xiuquan, neither man can foresee the spiritual and political firestorm their relationship will spark. What begins as a fragile exchange of ideas soon grows into a movement that will shake the Qing Dynasty and alter the course of a nation.
At the heart of Taiping are the combustible relationships among Hong; his cousin Kan; and Feng, the friend who struggles to steady the movement as it grows beyond anyone’s control. Their story unfolds against a backdrop of faith, ambition, cultural collision, and the perilous line between destiny and delusion.
Grounded in extensive historical scholarship yet told with dramatic clarity, Taiping offers a vivid, human‑centered portrait of the early Taiping era. While the real events spanned decades, this narrative focuses tightly on the people whose hopes, misunderstandings, and convictions shaped a revolution.
Some names are historical; others are adapted for clarity. But the emotional truth remains: this is a story about belief—how it inspires, how it blinds, and how it can change the world.
For readers drawn to spiritual themes, historical intrigue, or deeply human drama, Taiping invites you into a world where kingdoms rise and fall, where heaven seems to crack open, and where a single encounter can ripple outward into history.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A sweeping historical novel set against one of the most devastating uprisings in world history-the Taiping Rebellion, a conflict that claimed more than twenty million lives and reshaped 19th-century China.When Hong Xiuquan, a failed scholar from Guangdong, experiences visions that convince him he is the younger brother of Jesus Christ, he begins preaching a radical new faith that challenges the Qing dynasty and electrifies the poor and disenfranchised. His message spreads with astonishing speed, transforming a personal revelation into a revolutionary movement.Across the Pacific, Elijah Roberts, an American revivalist shaped by the fervor of the Second Great Awakening, feels called to bring the gospel to China. Idealistic and determined, he enters a world he does not fully understand-one already trembling on the edge of upheaval.Caught between them is Kan, Hong's cousin and closest confidant, a man torn between loyalty, doubt, and the terrifying momentum of a movement spiraling beyond anyone's control.As the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rises, alliances fracture, empires tremble, and the line between divine purpose and human ambition blurs. Through the intertwined lives of Hong, Elijah, and Kan, Taiping explores faith, identity, cultural collision, and the cost of believing too deeply in a vision of heaven on earth.Richly researched and deeply human, Taiping brings to life one of history's most extraordinary and misunderstood eras-an epic story of conviction, delusion, and the people caught in the fire between them. A historical novel set during the Taiping Rebellion, following a visionary Chinese leader, an American missionary, and the cousin caught between them as faith, ambition, and revolution reshape a nation.
