Publisher Description
'Intensely readable and exciting' Sunday Telegraph
Set in the turbulent days of the founding of Hong Kong in the 1840s, Tai-Pan is the story of Dirk Struan, the ruler - the Tai-Pan - of the most powerful trading company in the Far East. He is also a pirate, an opium smuggler, and a master manipulator of men. This is the story of his fight to establish himself and his dynasty as the undisputed masters of the Orient.
'Packed with action . . . gaudy and flamboyant with blood and sin, treachery and conspiracy, sex and murder . . . grand entertainment' New York Times
Customer Reviews
The characters never age
First read this book 27 years ago and I’ve just finished reading it for the 5th time. The faces of all the characters always look the same in my mind. The story still manages to excite and stir emotions in me each time I have read the book. I envy anyone that will be reading it for the first time!
