With 'El primer emperador i la reina Lluna' ('The First Emperor and the Moon Queen'), Jordi Cussà goes further than ever. A daring adventure story about a magnetic and almost mythical figure from Chinese culture: the Emperar Qin Shi Huangdi. The life of the first emperor of China, a cocktail of reality and the marvellous that homeric epics can only envy, plays a heroic, foundational and incomparable role in Chinese culture, and his magnetic  personality veers between divinity and monstrosity. The re-creation of female characters, who had no place in the chronicles of the time, is one of the novel's key achievements. A memorable portrait of greed as humanity's true poison, an intriguing description of the cultural relations between that distant empire and its neighbouring cultures, and the construction of characters and an atmosphere redolent of the classics.
