"The Structure of Eunuch and Courtier Politics" Chuko Shinsho Yasuke Mitamura There is one crease mark. #Eunuchs #YasukeMitamura #ChineseHistory #Emperor #ForbiddenCity #Castration ------------------------------------------------- (Contents) What is a eunuch? Why did they, in a society with strict class distinctions, serve in the imperial harem and monopolize power as close advisors to the emperor? Conventional general histories have not provided clear answers to these questions. This book, focusing on China, where this existence coexisted with autocracy for the past four thousand years, reveals its true nature for the first time. The elucidation of this strange organization is sure to provide a new perspective on the present day.
