Thank you for viewing this item. This is a set of three volumes (Volumes 1, 2, and 3) of "Kouyu to Ryuuho" (Hsiang Yu and Liu Bang) by Ryotaro Shiba. Kouyu to Ryuuho, Volumes 1, 2, and 3, Complete Set Shincho Bunko (Shincho Paperback) In the late 3rd century BC, Qin Shi Huang unified China for the first time in history, ending the Warring States period. However, after his death, Qin's control weakened, and the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang broke out, plunging the world into a new era of great chaos. This is a story that explores what "popularity" is in order to control the world, through the rise of Liu Bang, a gangster from Pei, who competed with Hsiang Yu, the fierce general of Chu, and, despite a hundred defeats, finally defeated Chu and established the Han Empire. The struggle for the world between Chu and Han was inconclusive. Liu's army confronts the overwhelming Hsiang Yu's army by climbing a mountain with a granary. Eventually, a peace treaty is made, and Liu Bang pursues Hsiang Yu's army as they return to their homeland, surrounding them at Gaixia. One night, Hsiang Yu, hearing the songs of the Chu people rising from the surrounding army, laments whether all the Chu people have surrendered to Han, and realizes that heaven has destroyed him. This historical masterpiece revives the world of the magnificent "Records of the Grand Historian" while depicting the archetypes of all kinds of people. #Paperback #Literature #AST's Novels ※ I am also selling several other works by Ryotaro Shiba, so if you are interested, I would be happy if you would take a look. ▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩▩ ● Condition of the books ▪ Cover There are some creases on the corners and edges (photos 3-7), and slight creases and minor stains on the front and back covers (photos 9-11), but there are no noticeable damages otherwise.
