Signed limited first edition of James Clavell's The Noble House
Signed limited first edition of “Clavell’s biggest triumph yet . . . storytelling done with dash and panache . . . a rousing read" (Washington Post). Octavo, original leather, all edges gilt, original slipcase. Boldly signed by James Clavell, with a note above, "signed but not numbered." Fine in a fine slipcase.
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. 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. “Fiction for addicts . . . extravagantly romantic . . . a book that you can get lost in for weeks . . . staggering complexity . . . not only is it as long as life, it’s also as rich with possibilities" (New York Times).
