Chellis' Staff Pick
|
This cased volume, which slides open like a palace gate, beautifully captures angles and images of the Forbidden City as if for the first time: deep shadows of enormous vats, shimmering reflections in tranquil ponds, freshly-fallen snow blanketing the Palace on a winter's sunset. More than a hundred sensitive color photographs convey the changing ambiance as well as the architecture and artifacts of the Forbidden City (Palace Museum). The text includes accounts of historical events and Court procedures, anecdotes and poems.
