The Making of James Clavell's Shogun

Hodder & Stoughton General Division

King Rat

It is the early 19th century, when European traders and adventurers first began to penetrate the forbidding Chinese mainland. And it is in this exciting time and exotic place that a giant of an Englishman, Dirk Straun, sets out to turn the desolate island of Hong Kong into an impregnable fortress of British power, and to make himself supreme ruler…Tai-Pan!

Tai Pan

Escape

Over the years, James Clavell produced a phenomenal series of critically acclaimed bestsellers known collectively as the Asian Saga--King Rat, Tai-Pan, Shgun, Noble House, Gai-Jin.  Another novel, Whirlwind, was set in the violent turmoil of Iran after the exile of the Shah in1979. Caught in this shifting world of fanaticism, ambition, duplicity, and death are the foreign helicopter pilots who service Iran's oil fields. Their one objective is to make a bold, concerted escape to safety across the Gulf. In Whirlwind, Clavell told the full story of the three weeks it took them to achieve this. In Escape, he drew out just one poignant thread from that epic narrative--the stirring love story of Erikki, a dashing Finnish pilot, and his ravishing and aristocratic Iranian wife, Azedeh, whom he loved beyond safety and politics. Released after the author's death and originated as the basis of a film script, this moving story is now published here for the first time.

When the Shah of Iran is overthrown, that nation's turmoil captures the world's attention.  Caught in this shifting world of fanaticism, ambition, duplicity, heartbreak and violent death are the foreign helicopter pilots who have been servicing the oilfields up and down the country. Their one objective now is to make a bold concerted escape, with their helicopters, to safety across the Gulf. Clavell told the story of the three weeks it took them to achieve this in his 1986 bestseller WHIRLWIND.  In ESCAPE he has taken out just one poignant thread from that epic narrative.  The result is the moving and tender love story of Erikki, the blond Finnish pilot, and his beautiful high-born Iranian wife, Azadeh, whom he loves beyond safety and beyond politics.  "Mr. Clavell is a master writer who studies the subject well and then weaves the story."  (Amazon.com)

Escape (Hodder Summer Reading)

Set in the turbulent days of the founding of Hong Kong in the 1840s, "Tai-Pan" is the story of Dirk Struan, the ruler - the Tai-Pan - of the most powerful trading company in the Far East. He is also a pirate, an opium smuggler, and a master manipulator of men. This is the story of his fight to establish himself and his dynasty as the undisputed masters of the Orient.

Flame

The setting is Hong Kong, 1963. The action 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.
