  • "Sinds de dood van de keizer van China in 1861 wordt de keizerin-weduwe steeds machtiger als regentes voor haar zoon."
  • "The last decades of the nineteenth century were a violent period in China's history, marked by humiliating foreign incursions and domestic rebellions and ending in the demise of the Ch'ing Dynasty. The only constant during this tumultuous time was the power wielded by one woman, the resilient, ever-resourceful Tsu Hsi -- or Empress Orchid, as readers came to know her in Anchee Min's critically acclaimed, best-selling novel covering her rise to power."
  • "Veuve de l'empereur de Chine, Orchidée assure l'éducation de son fils le prince Tongzhi. Elle doit faire face aux manigances de la corégente l'impératrice Nuharoo, aux ambitions du prince Kung qui l'a aidée à mater le coup d'État, aux révoltes des musulmans dans les provinces lointaines et aux exigences croissantes des Occidentaux."

  • "Follows the last empress of China, as Empress Orchid copes with tragic personal losses as she struggles to save her crumbling empire."
  • "From the Publisher: The last decades of the nineteenth century were a violent period in China's history, marked by humiliating foreign incursions and domestic rebellions and ending in the demise of the Ch'ing Dynasty. The only constant during this tumultuous time was the power wielded by one woman, the resilient, ever-resourceful Tsu Hsi-or Empress Orchid, as readers came to know her in Anchee Min's critically acclaimed, best-selling novel covering her rise to power. The Last Empress is the story of Orchid's dramatic transition from a strong-willed, instinctive young woman to a wise and politically savvy leader who ruled China for more than four decades. In this concluding volume Min gives us a compelling, very human leader who assumed power reluctantly and sacrificed all to protect those she loved and an empire that was doomed to die."
  • "Late 19th-century China is a tumultuous land beset by warring enemies, both from beyond its borders and within the fabled walls of the Forbidden City. When her son and adopted son each succumb to early deaths, Orchid reluctantly assumes greater power. While foreign nations like Japan, Russia, France, and England fight for their share of the Chinese spoils, Orchid sees her nation divide into opposing factions. Struggling against sexism and insurgence, only she can keep China from tearing itself apart."
