Because I also wanted to make this book interesting and informative a historical perspective, I sprinkled with small zoom lenses according to the cultural stages of the journey of my heroes.

(page 29)
"Qin was the first Emperor of China. His name, incidentally, is the origin of the name of this country, something that becomes more obvious when we know that the" Q "to pronounce Chinese words "Tch."

He was born in the third century BC in the royal family of the kingdom of Qin .... At that time, in the 250s BC, there existed in what is now China, seven kingdoms which were constantly war for regional supremacy. There was the kingdom of Qin, one of Qi, Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and Yan.
Qin, the future emperor of China, was born, as its name suggests, the Qin, but he spent his childhood in the Han as a hostage Royal. It also will keep this very bad experience traumatic memories that feed his desire for revenge and conquest. When he returned to Qin
