Cartoon History of the Universe this isn't. As with volume 1, the idea is more interesting than the execution. I'm enjoying this glimpse of history not covered in any of my high school classes, but it definitely could have been made more interesting. It may just be that Liu is presenting such broad sweeps of history in such a small space, that the only realistic way to handle it is infodump. So we get funny looking characters who don't really do or say anything funny, interspersed with maps and

Der zweite Band der vierbändigen Comic-Reihe zur chinesischen Geschichte umfasst die Zeit vom Ende der Han-Dynastie bis zur Tang-Dynastie. Wiederholt wird hier beispielhaft der Verlauf der chinesischen Geschichte in Zyklen von Aufstieg und Abstieg mächtiger Dynastien. Anschaulich erklärt JingLiu, wie es in jeder Epoche zu Machtanhäufung und Machtmissbrauch der Herrschenden kam, während Bauern und arme Bürger bis zu 70% ihrer Ernten als Steuern abzuliefern hatten. Wer die Macht hatte, bereicherte

The second book in the series of four book on Chinese history, there are more wars, rebellions and more unification. Tibet also makes a cameo appearance and you can see why it is always considered a different region/state. This filled in my curiosity of the three kingdoms and the Tang Dynasty - widely considered the Golden period of Chinese civilization.
Crisp and informative continuation from the first volume elegantly handling the challenge of identifying the stand out differences and lasting changes from the flurry of dynasties, emperors, invasions, disasters and wars. A pleasure to read.
A graphic account of Chinese history, or rather, part one of a four-part series of graphic accounts of Chinese history. If you've been around here for a while, you know that I always wanted to study Chinese history, and got a little bitter because I couldn't ever take a class on it. Well, Jing Liu heard my cries of woe and answered them with this.

This series does a great job of making the very complicated history of China actually understandable. Would I say I have a concrete knowledge of this time period now? No, definitely not - but it's a great intro. I also appreciate the "further reading" section in the back of each volume, with suggestions about what texts to go to for different subjects/specific time periods.

Easy and fun to read. Very informative.
I wonder if all countries would have such a convoluted history if we kept better records.
These are so much better than my high school history teacher.
Another excellent overview, up to the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Not bad for a primer to get in touch with China history. Very light and easy to read, although, of course, very superficial and summarized. Too bad that I can't find the last book in kindle format...
