Tajpan (Recenzia)

Sumár recenzie
Tajpan od Jamesa Clavella sa odohráva v prvej polovici 19. storočia v novovznikajúcom Hongkongu a sleduje súboj dvoch obchodných domov o kontrolu obchodu s čajom, hodvábom, koreninami a pašovaním ópia. Recenzentka ho považuje za dokonalý a uprednostňuje ho pred Šógunom; oceňuje prepracované a zapamätateľné postavy, najmä charizmatického Dirka Struana a milovanú Mejmej, ako aj ekonomickú linku, politické intrigy a romantiku medzi znepriatelenými rodinami. Kniha má 664 strán, recenzentku nechala s túžbou po ďalších stranách a plánuje sa k nej opakovane vracať; za recenzný výtlačok ďakuje vydavateľstvu Ikar.
