ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Tai-Pan by James Clavell plunges into the turbulent world of 19th-century China trade with the newly established British colony of Hong Kong. The story centers on the formidable Dirk Struan, the Tai-Pan of the powerful Noble House, as he navigates complex rivalries with other European and American traders, most notably his bitter adversary, Tyler Brock. Amidst the backdrop of opium smuggling, imperial ambitions, and cultural clashes, Struan relentlessly pursues his vision for Hong Kong, facing perilous storms, treacherous alliances, and the ever-present struggle for dominance and wealth in this burgeoning frontier.
