The Great Wall : the extraordinary history of China´s wonder of the world. John Man.
Tipo de material: TextoEditor: London : Bantam, 2009Descripción: 411 p. : maps. ; 20 cmISBN: 9780553817683Tema(s): EL GRAN MURO DE CHINA -- HISTORIAClasificación CDD: 951 Resumen: "China's Great Wall north of Beijing is one of the world's most famous sights. Millions every year climb the line of stone snaking over mountains. Myths surround the Wall. Many believe that the stone barrier marches across all China, that it has been in existence for over 2,000 years, and that it is the only man-made structure visible from the Moon. In fact, most of it is made of earth, and much of it is not there at all. It cannot even be seen from Earth orbit, let alone the Moon. Estimates of its length vary from 1,500 to 5,000 miles. Even its name is deceptive - it is not an it, a single entity, but many walls (hence the uncertain length), built at different times. For this riveting account, John Man travelled the Wall from the far western deserts to the Pacific, exploring the grandest sections and many 'wild' ones. He is the first writer to describe two unknown walls in Mongolia. He covers two millennia of history, from the country's first unification to the present day, when the Great Wall, built and rebuilt over centuries of war, has become a symbol of tranquillity - the history of the Great Wall, is, in many ways, the history of China."--Back cover.Tipo de ítem | Ubicación actual | Colección | Signatura | Info Vol | Copia número | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento | Código de barras | Reserva de ítems |
