Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This is a tale of deception and disgrace in the Orient at the turn of the 20th century, revolving around upper-class American Rupert Tremorne. Tremorne arrives in Nagasaki after a fall from grace in the American diplomatic service and is taken in by Silas K. Hemster, an extremely wealthy industrialist. Hemster hires Tremorne as his private secretary and together they sail on Hemster's private yacht, ostensibly to visit the Emperor of Japan. The narrative is set against a backdrop of cultural differences and mutual misunderstandings between the American and Japanese, and Tremorne finds himself caught in the middle. When the story pulls Tremorne, hapless and humiliated, back to the bottom after he briefly enjoyed the enticing life of an aristocrat, the author asks, can one truly escape their past? The book will appeal to readers interested in Asian history, early 20th-century politics, and themes of guilt, shame, and identity.
