China: A Portrait of Civilization is a sweeping yet human history of China, one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations. It combines deep historical analysis with vivid narratives of the people, cities, ideas, and cultural practices that have shaped China over more than three millennia.
Michael Wood tells the story of China not as a series of dynasties and wars, but as the story of a civilization centered on its people—their beliefs, fears, inventions, languages, and ways of thinking.
