This book, written by Henry Pu Yi and edited by Paul Kramer was the basis for the movie The Last Emperor and tells the story of the boy who became emperor of China at age 2 (or 3 when using Chinese dating) , lived for nearly twenty years in the Forbidden City before being expelled and imprisoned by the Soviets and Red Chinese. "The Xuantong Emperor (7 February 1906 17 October 1967) , better known by his personal name Puyi, was the last emperor of China as the eleventh and final monarch of the Qing dynasty. He was later ruler of the puppet state of Manchukuo under the Empire of Japan from 1934 to 1945. He became emperor at the age of two in 1908, but was forced to abdicate at the age of six in 1912 during the Xinhai Revolution. His era name as Qing emperor, Xuantong , means "proclamation of unity". Puyi was briefly restored to the throne as Qing emperor by the loyalist General Zhang Xun from 1 July to 12 July 1917. He was first wed to Empress Wanrong in 1922 in an arranged marriage. In 1924, he was expelled from the Forbidden City and found refuge in Tianjin, where he began to court both the warlords fighting for hegemony over China and the Japanese who had long desired control of China. In 1932, after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, the puppet state of Manchukuo was established by Japan, and he was chosen to become the chief executive of the new state using the era name of "Datong".

Hardcover, 24 x 16 cm, 486 pp., English, 1st Edition, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good This book is the famous memoir by Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston, who served from 1919 to 1924 as the private tutor and advisor to Puyi, the last emperor of China. First published in 1934 by Victor Gollancz Ltd., the book provides a unique eyewitness account of the final years of the Qing Dynasty within the walls of the imperial palace. The work is more than just a portrait of the emperor; it is an extensive history of a turbulent era in China: As one of only two foreigners allowed into the "Inner Court," Johnston provides detailed descriptions of palace ritualssuch as Puyi's weddingand the political intrigues of the time. Johnston was a great admirer of Chinese culture and an advocate for a constitutional monarchy based on the British model. He was critical of the young Republic of China and often defended the interests of the imperial family. The book features a preface written by Puyi himself (dated 1931) and covers key events including the 1911 Revolution and the emperor's ultimate expulsion from the Forbidden City in 1924.
