Summary

Yen Se has lost everything to the Khan's brutality.

Left with one eye and one arm, he is forced out of his home village to work in the city as a horse handler. Witness to the Khan's violent crusade, their raids sweeping across Eurasia, he travels with the theatre of war, but exists outside of it; stunned every morning to find himself alive.

Yen Se moves randomly across Europe with a loose band of survivors – men who think of survival, men who think of resistance, and women who dare to dream of peace. This is the story of war, but more importantly, of hope.

Critic reviews

'I loved this bountiful sensuous book, more saga than novel, from a writer who confronts again, the contradictions of history, religion and race.' (Hilary McPhee, founding director of McPhee Gribble Publishers and a Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts)
'The vast scope of Bruce Pascoe’s imagination is breath-taking. Imperial Harvest, rendered in lucid and poetic prose, is a meditation on the barbaric absurdity of war, while being, as readers would expect from this extraordinary writer, a poetic hymn to the planet itself.' (Carmel Bird, recipient of the 2016 Patrick White Literary Award)
