About This Item
no tears or marks
This spellbinding adventure is a literary triumph that proves once again why James Clavell's books have become modern classics.
Set in Hong Kong in 1963, the action of Noble House spans scarcely more than a week, but these are days of high adventure: from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes -- fire, flood, landslide. Yet they are also days filled with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong -- the heart of Asia -- rich in every trade ... money, flesh, opium, power.

Synopsis
Noble House is a novel by James Clavell, published in 1981 and set in Hong Kong in 1963. It is part of Clavell's Asian Saga. It is a massive book, well over 1000 pages, with dozens of characters and numerous intermingling plot lines. In 1988, it was adapted as a television miniseries for NBC starring Pierce Brosnan. The miniseries updates the storyline of the novel to the 1980s. The Noble House also is a nickname of Struan's, the trading company featured prominently in most of Clavell's novels.
