The Book of the Later Han, Volume 1
The Book of the Later Han (後漢書)
Fan Ye's Book of the Later Han tells the two centuries of the restored Han dynasty (AD 25–220), from Liu Xiu's rise out of civil war through palace intrigue, eunuch power and the Yellow Turban rising to the collapse that opened the Three Kingdoms. This first volume opens with the Annals of the emperors and empresses and the first of the biographies. This complete new English translation is published in six volumes; this is Volume 1 of 6, and the whole set is also available as a bundle. Each volume stands on its own, and together the six give the whole history with its treatises. Names are given in modern pinyin, offices and titles are rendered plainly, and the narrative runs as continuous English prose, so the book can be read straight through by anyone curious about China's past, not only by specialists.
