Charles Hucker CHINA'S IMPERIAL PAST 1975 1st Ed. FINE!

Charles O. Hucker

First Edition 1975

*CHINA’S IMPERIAL PAST*

An Introduction to Chinese History and Culture

First edition, 1975 from Stanford University Press. In fine condition with a fine dust jacket protected in mylar, it is not a remainder, not price clipped, and it is not a BCE or Library copy! This book appears to have been very gently read and has only minimal toning to the pages for me to note! No marks of any kind or creasing to any pages! The dust jacket has expected shelf rubbing visible—but it is minimal as well! The smallest amount of edge damage can be noted but, of course, all further wear and aging is halted with its new mylar cover!

This informative work by Professor Hucker has stood the test of time-and interest-and has been reprinted several times since 1975! Including in paperback in 1995!  A great First Edition for your collection!

Please note that our photos are always of the actual book and NOT “stock” photos!

__________________________________________

A work unique in the sweep of its design and scope, intended expressly for the general reader interested in human history and culture, this is a vivid panoramic survey of the vast course of Chinese civilization from prehistory to 1850, when the old China began the agonizing transition to the new. Historical surveys of China tend to be dynasty-by-dynasty chronicles with a profusion of names and dates and occasional cultural tidbits, or to concentrate on the period from earliest times to the Han dynasty (or the T’ang), giving only scant coverage to the last thousand years. China’s Imperial Past is different. Not only does it treat the three major periods of Chinese history at roughly equal length, weaving all their complexity into a balanced, integrated whole, but it gives ample space to China’s magnificent literary and artistic achievements.
