ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

James Clavell's Noble House plunges into the vibrant and complex world of 1963 Hong Kong. The narrative centers on Ian Dunross, the newly appointed tai-pan of the venerable trading firm, Struan and Company. As Dunross takes the helm, he confronts a myriad of challenges, including navigating the intricate web of high finance, political intrigue, and deep-seated family secrets tied to the legacy of the company's founder. The story unfolds amidst a backdrop of power struggles, clandestine operations, and the ever-present dynamics of East-West relations in a rapidly evolving Asia.
