Thank you for viewing this item. This is a set of three volumes of "Kouyu to Ryuuho" (Xiang Yu and Liu Bang) by Ryotaro Shiba: Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3. Kouyu to Ryuuho, Volumes 1-3, 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 erupted, 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 Xiang Yu, the fierce general of Chu, for the world, and finally defeated Chu and established the Han Empire, even after suffering a hundred defeats. The struggle for the world between Chu and Han was inconclusive. Liu's army confronts the overwhelming Xiang Yu's army by climbing a mountain with a granary. Eventually, a peace treaty is concluded, and Liu Bang pursues Xiang Yu's army as they return to their homeland, surrounding them at Gaixia. One night, Xiang Yu heard the songs of Chu emanating from the besieging army, and lamented that the people of Chu had all surrendered to Han, realizing that heaven had brought about his downfall. 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 minor creases and scratches on the corners and edges (photos 3-7), and although not very noticeable, there are some slight creases and minor stains on the front and back covers.
