This is the fantastic true story of the infamous pirate; Coxinga who became king of Taiwan and was made a god - twice. From humble origins, Coxinga's father became the richest man in China and Admiral of the Emperor's navy during the Ming Dynasty. As his eldest son, Coxinga was given the best education and developed a love of poetry and the study of Confucius. From this unlikely beginning, it took the invasion of south China by the Manchu and the subsequent loss of both his parents - his father defected to the Manchu and his mother, a Japanese Samurai, died in battle - to turn Coxinga from scholar to warrior. Fiercely loyal to his exiled Emperor, Coxinga fought against overwhelming odds until his defeat drove him out to sea and over to Taiwan - at the time a lawless set of islands inhabited by cannibals. Self-styled king of Taiwan, Coxinga died at the moment of his triumph. His descendants ruled the island for two decades.

Confucius is one of the most important figures in Chinese history, the philosopher-founder of an intellectual, ethical tradition that has shaped a quarter of the world's population. Often overlooked outside his native country, in this study Confucius is revealed to be an outspoken and uncompromising man within the context of a China 2,500 years ago. A contemporary of Buddha, Confucius was the illegitimate son of a retired soldier and a teenage concubine. He had a passionate belief in respect for others and it was this belief which underpinned his life and teachings. He advised the famous figures of his day, gaining their respect along with the undying enmity of those whose paths he crossed. He was equally proud of both achievements, saying that if the evil people of the world liked him, he was doing something wrong. Confucius established many ideas that are taken for granted today. His theories became the foundation of one of the world's first civil services and established enduring social structures throughout Asia.

Ying Zheng was born to rule the world. Crowned king of Qin—China's westernmost kingdom—six rival kings stood between him and a unified empire. He invaded Qi, the Land of the Devout, looking for a mythical device that could bring down the power of the gods. After surviving an assassination attempt by a childhood friend the Red Prince, he retaliated by destroying the Prince's kingdom. This volume tells the full story of the life, legends, and laws of the "First Emperor." It exposes the intrigues and scandals of his family—his mother's plot to overthrow him, a revolt led by his stepfather, and the suspicious death of his half-brother—explores the immigration crisis that threatened to destroy his kingdom, and provides a terrifying glimpse of daily life in a land under absolute rule.
