Long Description of the Plot: The Terra Cotta Army - исторический роман, повествующий о создании знаменитой армии терракотовых солдат, похороненных вместе с первым императором Китая Цинь Шихуанди, правившим в 265 - 210 годах до н. э. Роман исследует увлекательную историю о том, как тысячи квалифицированных ремесленников и чернорабочих десятилетиями неустанно трудились над созданием целой армии глиняных солдат в натуральную величину, каждый из которых уникален своей мимикой и жестикуляцией, чтобы защитить императора в загробной жизни. Роман углубляется в сложный процесс создания этих солдат, от подбора сырья до кропотливого процесса формовки и обжига глиняных фигур. В нем освещаются технологические достижения, достигнутые за этот период, и то, как они проложили путь для будущих поколений. По мере развития истории читатели переносятся в древний Китай, где становятся свидетелями возвышения Цинь Шихуанди, молодого принца, который объединяет враждующие государства посредством военной доблести и стратегических союзов.
