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!

I desperately need to clear some shelf space! I'm releasing some books into the wild that I hope will find new loving homes <3

Released in the library's shelf in the pop-up park on Södermalm in central Stockholm.
