Produktbeschreibung

The Stolen Emperor is a novel written by Mrs. Hugh Fraser and published in 1903. The story is set in China during the Boxer Rebellion, a violent uprising against foreign influence in China. The novel follows the adventures of a young Englishwoman named Dorothy Brooke, who travels to China with her father, a British diplomat. While in China, Dorothy becomes embroiled in a plot to steal the emperor's jade seal, a symbol of his authority, and smuggle it out of the country. Along the way, she falls in love with a Chinese prince and faces numerous dangers, including kidnapping, betrayal, and assassination attempts. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of life in China during a tumultuous period of its history and explores themes of cultural clash, colonialism, and romance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
