Rule the World: Emperors in World History
by M
About This Novel
Professor Dominic Liffin's new book explores the qualities required of monarchs across many dynasties throughout history. A monarch needs qualities such as tenacity, abundant energy, accurate judgment and moderate self-confidence. Of course, he also needs qualities such as ambition, courage and kindness. These qualities are partly innate, but they are also created by education and experience. Marriage strategies and inheritance systems also had a significant impact on dynasties and their rulers. The author traces the changes in these elements through different historical periods. Although the imperial system has basically died out today, this does not mean that it has no relevance to today's world. The author's discussion shows us how people today live with its political and cultural heritage.
