James Clavell – Tai-Pan – First Edition 1966
£375.00
A first edition, first printing published by Michael Joseph in 1966. A very good (or better) book which is free from inscriptions. Light thin stain to the top of the page block – no spotting. In a very good lightly spine faded dust wrapper which is unclipped showing 35s as called for.
James Clavell’s “Tai-Pan” is a gripping historical novel set in 19th-century Hong Kong. The story unfolds as British merchant Dirk Struan battles for dominance in the Asian trade. Struan faces political machinations, opium wars, and personal vendettas while establishing the Noble House trading company. The narrative vividly explores the clash of Western and Eastern cultures, intricate business strategies, and the complex relationships among the diverse characters. “Tai-Pan” is a tale of ambition, power, and the high-stakes world of international commerce, offering a rich portrayal of Hong Kong’s tumultuous history during the height of the British Empire. The novel is the second in the Asian Series by Clavell and becoming scarce.
