A fictionalised life of China's last emperor - immortalised in Bertolucci's award-winning film. China's uniquely long history has been characterised as the embodiment of wise stewardship and an adherence to Confucian principals of humanity. My Life as Emperor tells the real story of incompetence, cruelty, decadence, and an absence of concern for anyone's well-being but those holding power. It is a chilling yet enormously entertaining glimpse of the dark side of nation-building, as well as a vivid insight into the lives of the palace women and the surrounding court intrigue richly embroidered with extraordinary calamities and rampant slaughter.
