di Sarah Michaels (Autore)

SD, 2025

Behind towering red walls and golden rooftops lies one of the most mysterious and fascinating places in the world. For centuries, it was home to emperors, guarded by soldiers, filled with secret rules, and off-limits to ordinary people. This enormous palace—larger than some entire towns—was a world of its own, complete with nearly 10,000 rooms, sprawling courtyards, and halls where decisions that shaped a nation were made. In these pages, young readers will step through the gates of a once-forbidden world. They'll discover how emperors lived their daily lives, what strict rules everyone inside had to follow, and how colors, animals, and even numbers carried hidden meanings. They'll learn about daring plots, strange traditions, and incredible ceremonies that filled the palace with music, pageantry, and intrigue. The story doesn't end with the emperors. Readers will also see how this great palace survived fires, earthquakes, invasions, and even the fall of dynasties, transforming from a symbol of absolute power into one of the most visited museums on earth. Perfect for curious kids who love adventure, history, and discovery, this book opens the gates to a city once closed to the world and shows why it still matters today. It's not just about the past—it's about walking through history that still feels alive.
