Specificatii
With the incomparable vision and breathtaking detail that brought
his now-classic Mars trilogy to vivid life, bestselling author KIM
STANLEY ROBINSON boldly imagines an alternate history of the last
seven hundred years. In his grandest work yet, the acclaimed
storyteller constructs a world vastly different from the one we
know.... The Years of Rice and Salt It is the fourteenth century
and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to
occur-the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a
third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if? What if
the plague killed 99 percent of the population instead? How would
the world have changed? This is a look at the history that could
have been-a history that stretches across centuries, a history that
sees dynasties and nations rise and crumble, a history that spans
horrible famine and magnificent innovation. These are the years of
rice and salt. This is a universe where the first ship to reach the
New World travels across the Pacific Ocean from China and
colonization spreads from west to east. This is a universe where
the Industrial Revolution is triggered by the world's greatest
scientific minds-in India. This is a universe where Buddhism and
Islam are the most influential and practiced religions and
Christianity is merely a historical footnote. Through the eyes of
soldiers and kings, explorers and philosophers, slaves and
scholars, Robinson renders an immensely rich tapestry. Rewriting
history and probing the most profound questions as only he can,
Robinson shines his extraordinary light on the place of religion,
culture, power, and even love on such an Earth. From the steppes of
Asia to the shores of the Western Hemisphere, from the age of Akbar
to the present and beyond, here is the stunning story of the
creation of a new world. From the Hardcover edition.
