À propos de cette écoute

A Brief History of China tells of the development of a rich and complex civilization where the use of paper, writing, money, and gunpowder were widespread in ancient times and where silk, ceramics, tea, metal implements, and other products were produced and exported around the globe. It examines the special conditions that allowed a single culture to unify an entire continent spanning 10 billion square kilometers under the rule of a single man - and the unbelievably rich artistic, literary and architectural heritage that Chinese culture has bequeathed to the world. Equally fascinating is the story of China's decline in the 19th and early 20th century - as Europeans and Americans took center stage - and its modern resurgence as an economic powerhouse in recent years.

In his retelling of a Chinese history stretching back 5,000 years, author and China-expert Jonathan Clements focuses on the human stories which led to the powerful transformations in Chinese society - from the unification of China under its first emperor, Qinshi Huangdi, to the Mongol invasion under Genghis Khan and the consolidation of Communist rule under Mao Zedong. Clements even brings listeners through to the present day, outlining China's economic renaissance under Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping.

    The reader has quite a lot of difficulties with proper Chinese pronunciation. Clearly, he improved over the book. The first chapters were especially hard to understand as he mispronounced many pinyin words. Eventually it got better.
    As for the content, it's very interesting and engaging, assuming you are interested in China. I just wish the author had spent a bit of time at the beginning to summarise the different periods that are presented, with the names of the dinasties and dates. This would have made the book easier to follow (especialy, as an audiobook).

    Nice English pronunciation but difficult Chinese one
