Product Details

Product Description

Ingram

Under the eyes of the KGB, the CIA, and the People's Republic of China, British and American businessmen maneuver for control of Hong Kong's oldest trading house. Reissue. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

From the Publisher

The setting is Hong Kong, 1963. The action spans scarcely more than a week, but these are the days of high adventure: from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes -- fire, flood, and landslide. Yet they are days filled as well with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong -- the heart of Asia -- rich in every trade... money, flesh, opium, power.

"The last time I was so taken with a spellbinding safari was when I read Gone With The Wind." -- Los Angeles Times. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 all clavell's works are great, but this one is the jewel, Oct. 23 2002
Par Un client
Ce commentaire est de: Noble House (Mass Market Paperback)
if you've only heard of clavell because of the excellent shogun, then you have so far missed out on his greatest work: noble house. the plot is so rich and there is so much humour also that you will wish the book was even longer than it is. you cannot miss this book.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Winded, Oct. 8 2002
Par Scott G. Beckley (Denver, CO United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: Noble House (Mass Market Paperback)
This is Clavell's last book of his epic series. I am glad that I read Tai-Pan (thanks to another customer review's suggestion), so that I was able to follow the characters and historic development of Noble House. Noble House is much better than Tai-Pan and is definitely an easier read.

Noble House has a pretty good plot. I found the Russia, world-domination plot a little underdeveloped and could have been wiped out entirely out of the equation, thus, saving a couple hundred pages of this lengthy 1200+ epic novel.

The main characters are exciting to follow: Ian Dunross, Casey, Bartlett, Quillan Gornt, 4 Fingers Wu. Some are developed enough to recognize throughout the novel: Peter Marlowe, Brian Kwok, Philip and John Chen, Suslev. And some could have been left out: Haply, Inspector Smyth, Havergill, etc.

A pretty decent read, but very, very long. This could have been shortened and still be a powerful novel - even more so.

It makes sense to read these in order because of continuing saga's. I took the shortcut and only read Tai-Pan and Noble House and this was enough to follow the storyline.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Too many loose ends..., Sep 8 2002
Par Joshua A. Bevan (Charlotte, NC USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: Noble House (Mass Market Paperback)
Clavell's novels have a great way of continuing at the end. Life goes on. But in "Noble House" Clavell simply introduces too many segues. The last 200 pages or so of the book seemed rushed, and the book simply ends with too many loose ends. A little frustrating after 1370 pages.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A typical action-drama
Not bad, if you like a story about businessmen wheeling and dealing, although a bit long.
