Imperatrice Wu Zetian

By Laurel A. Rockefeller. 2019

DAISY text (Direct to player), DAISY text (Zip), Word (Zip), ePub (Zip)
Historical biography, Asian history

La donna più odiata nella storia della Cina! Viaggia indietro nel tempo di più di mille anni e incontra la…

prima e unica imperatrice donna della Cina. Nata come Wu Zhao e nominata col titolo reale di "Zetian" poche settimane prima della sua morte nel 705 DC, era la figlia non voluta del Cancelliere Wu Shihuo -- troppo intelligente, troppo acculturata, e troppo concentrata politicamente per farne una buona moglie secondo le interpretazioni dell'epoca dei Dialoghi di Confucio.  C'è da meravigliarsi che ancora oggi rimanga la donna più odiata di tutta la storia cinese e una delle sue più controverse?  Esplora la vita dell'Imperatrice Wu e scopri perchè il mondo è un posto completamente diverso perché ha osato ciò che nessuna donna in Cina prima o da allora ha mai sognato.

Synthetic audio

The first English-language history of Korea to appear in more than a decade, this translation offers Western readers a distillation…

of the latest and best scholarship on Korean history and culture from the earliest times to the student revolution of 1960. The most widely read and respected general history, A New History of Korea (Han’guksa sillon) was first published in 1961 and has undergone two major revisions and updatings. Translated twice into Japanese and currently being translated into Chinese as well, Ki-baik Lee’s work presents a new periodization of his country’s history, based on a fresh analysis of the changing composition of the leadership elite. The book is noteworthy, too, for its full and integrated discussion of major currents in Korea’s cultural history. The translation, three years in preparation, has been done by specialists in the field.

L'imperatrice Wu Zetian: Versione per studenti e docenti (Libri di testo: Le leggendarie donne della storia mondiale #5)

La donna piu' odiata della storia cinese!  Nata nel 624 d. C., nella contea del Wenshui, provincia di Shanxi, nessuno…

si aspettava un futuro brillante per la bella Wu Zhao (il cui titolo regale era Wu Zetian) -- a parte causare danno allo sventurato che l'avrebbe sposata. L'esatto contrario di quanto ci si aspetta da una donna negli insegnamenti del confucianesimo, Wu Zhao non era solamente brillante, ma anche ben istruita e sproporzionatamente ambiziosa.   Giudicata duramente, sia dai contemporanei che dai posteri in Cina, l'imperatrice Wu, di sicuro, mette tutti d'accordo sul fatto che il mondo, oggi, sia un posto migliore grazie alla sua audacia nello sfidare le convenzioni dell'epoca, osando fare cio' che nessun'altra donna dell'epoca avrebbe mai nemmeno sognato. Questo libro racconta la vera storia di una tra le donne piu' leggendarie al mondo.   L'edizione per studenti e docenti comprende domande alla fine di ogni capitolo, volte a stimolare la riflessione critica su svariati temi, inoltre, alla fine della storia, viene fornita un'esaustiva cronologia ed una dettagliata lista di letture consigliate.
