Reviews
Norman Kutcher has written an erudite, ground-breaking and richly documented study that walks us through the community of eunuchs in Beijing as they moved in and out of the Forbidden City, princely households, and the Old Summer Palace in the 17th and 18th centuries . . . Generalists and specialists will discover in Kutcher's study many other fascinating topics, and these include the personalities of the Qing emperors, the physiology of eunuchs, medical history of castration, and the poignant narratives of eunuch survival and suicide.

Synopsis
Eunuch and Emperor in the Great Age of Qing Rule offers a new interpretation of eunuchs and their connection to imperial rule in the first century and a half of the Qing dynasty (1644-1800). This period encompassed the reigns of three of China's most important emperors, men who were deeply affected by the great eunuch corruption of the fallen Ming dynasty. In this groundbreaking and deeply researched book, the author explores how Qing emperors sought to prevent a return of the harmful excesses of eunuchs and how eunuchs flourished in the face of the restrictions imposed upon them. We meet powerful eunuchs who faithfully served, and in some cases ultimately betrayed, their emperors. We also meet ordinary eunuchs whose lives, punctuated by dramas large and small, provide a fascinating perspective on the Qing palace world.

Came back from an exam to find the package on my bed. Wasn’t expecting it to arrive today (the day before Ebay website said it was suposed to arrive on February 1st). Thank God my mom was in home this morning. All in all, this was my first purchase through Ebay and the article came in perfect state, just like it said in the description. And though I bought it on December tomorrow is my birthday, so this is my Christmas and birthday present. So thank you!
