New York, New York, U.S.A.: Plume Penguin, 1995. 8th Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/4" x 8. 320 Pages. Two inch surface stain at top of front page edges. Otherwise a tight book with no other marks or stamps. Once again, that supreme anti-hero of the Victorian era, the one and only Harry Fashman, is ready to rise to the occasion no matter what depths of dishonor he must plumb. Lusting after a clergyman's wife, smuggling opium to Hong Kong, coupling with an Amazonian woman river pirate, groveling before a ruthless warlord, becoming the sexual plaything of the most beautiful and evil woman in the world, and cheerfully participating in yet another British rape of an ancient culture, this is the inimitable Aashman at his very worst. And, as all Flashman fans know, that means he's at his irresistible best in this, his most exotic and erotic, uninhibited and hilarious adventure yet., Plume Penguin, 1995, 3, Macmillan, 1972-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x7x1. Hardcover and dust jacket. Tears to jacket with loss. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> Tz'u-hsi was an Imperial consort who controlled the Chinese Qing dynasty for almost half a century. A low ranking concubine of the Xianfeng emperor (r. 1850-61), Cixi bore his only son, the future Tongzhi emperor, in 1856. After the emperor's death, Cixi joined a triumviral regency that governed in the name of her son, who was only 6 at his accession. During that period the Taiping and Nian rebellions were put down and the government was briefly revitalized. When Cixi's son died in 1875, Cixi violated the laws of succession and had her adoptive nephew enthroned. The regency thus continued, with Cixi becoming sole regent in 1884. In 1889 she nominally relinquished control but returned in 1898 to undo a set of radical reforms and had her nephew imprisoned in his palace. She supported the unsuccessful Boxer Rebellion, which had disastrous consequences for China., Macmillan, 1972-01-01, 3<
