The very name of China conjures up stunning historical images. From the Great Wall snaking through its mountains to the thousands of terracotta warriors found buried in its Earth, the world is not unfamiliar with the technological feats and vast expanses of the Chinese nation.
As one of the world’s longest continuous civilizations, China’s history is boundless, complex, and multifaceted, filled with conflicts, accomplishments, and stories that seem larger than life.

Fascinating culture!
I know China has very long and complicated history, but it takes so much time if we read it through! But this audiobook make it easier to know the rise and fall of the Imperial china and other detail. Each chapter is about 10 minutes so we don't be filled too much at a time. It feels like we listened to interesting stories one after one. Highly recommended!

Being a history lover, I've studied a lot of books. I've completed more than 5 books on China but this one is exceptional. Each era has been explained with brilliance. The narration of the book is very simple. The listener neither gets confused nor mixes up the concepts.
It is highly recommended to those who are history lovers.

History in a Nutshell
I have really enjoyed the brief history of audiobook series. A lot of research has gone into the audiobook. I didn't know much about China and now I feel like I have an overview of this fascinating nation. I look forward to listening to the next one in the series.
