Kurzbeschreibung
It is the early 19th century, when European traders and adventurers first began to penetrate the forbidding Chinese mainland. And it is in this exciting time and exotic place that a giant of an Englishman, Dirk Straun, sets out to turn the desolate island of Hong Kong into an impregnable fortress of British power, and to make himself supreme ruler…Tai-Pan!

Once the Sails Catch Wind, Watch Out
29. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Having first read Shogun, I was distraught at what I considered to be a slow start. With so many characters, I was even a fan of the antogonist at first. However, after about the fifth chapter I was a Struan fan for life. Fast-paced and sexy. It is a must read for historical fiction fans.

Come With Me Now To Those Thrilling Days
17. Dezember 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
King Rat got all of the Good reviews and Shogun got the big miniseries deal, but if you love Jame Clavall this is the one. The sweep of history with blood, sex and big business, this is the Count of Monte Christo breaking the Paris Stock Exchnage and Indiana Jones fighting his way through China. Turn the first page and read, "Buy a coffin..." if you can stop this really isn't for you, if you can't there's good news and bad, there are more books but the master is dead. No matter the ones he finished before his death are all delicious and low carb. Read this first and then read Noble House, Whirlwind and Gai Jan and you'll start the new year right. Be a complete rat and buy Tai Pan and give it as a gift. This works especially well if you own a bookstore, because once read the rest surley have to follow. James Clavell, writer, Hong Kong Dan and gentleman...and perdition to his enemies!
Excellent historical fiction
16. Mai 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
I lived in Hong Kong for 17 years and have read Taipan three times over the decades. An excellent story based on thorough research on the part of James Clavell. He manages to keep enough balls in the air, enough events happening, so that we want to keep reading. And he manages to capture a great deal of the historical sweep that such a saga demands. One small quibble is that I think in the beginning of the book he describes a lorcha as a Chinese vessel with Western masts and sails but it is the opposite: a Western hull with Chinese sails and masts. Anyway, the author is not here to defend himself so never mind, the book is excellent. I have always loved this period of history when East first meets West in China in any kind of numbers. The humor, the misunderstandings, etc. It was not simply a time of Opium Wars. My own work,Hangman's Point; A Novel, is set in Hong Kong 15 years after Taipan in 1857. If you liked Taipan I think you might also enjoy Hangman's Point. As a footnote, I met James Clavell in Hong Kong at the Foreign Correspondents Club many years ago and was hoping he might give me a blurb for Hangman's Point but then he passed away.
