Summary |
In tracing the voyages of the great Chinese treasure fleet and its enigmatic leader Zheng He, Ghost fleet brings the past alive with vivid clarity. We learn of the legacy left behind by the extraordinary leader and glimpse an era of Chinese history that promised so much, but left so little. The historical recreations of the life of Zheng He are executed with the grandeur and scope of a renaissance painting; they evoke and explain the power and ambition of Ming Dynasty China |
