About Tai-Pan by James Clavell
Set in the early 19th century, Tai-Pan follows European traders and adventurers moving into China and focuses on Dirk Straun, an Englishman intent on making Hong Kong an impregnable center of British power and becoming its Tai-Pan. The publisher’s description places the story at a moment when the island is presented as desolate and European commercial influence is expanding.
This historical novel may suit readers interested in Hong Kong’s colonial-era beginnings, European trade in China, and fiction about the pursuit of political and commercial power. It offers a dramatized narrative rather than a reference history.
