Fondata da Sir Jonathan, il geniale e ambizioso figlio illegittimo di una cinese e di un avventuriero irlandese, la dinastia dei Sekloong nell'arco di tre generazioni riesce a costruire un impero economico e a far sentire la propria influenza da Hong Kong al Pentagono, dalla Cina nazionalista a quella comunista. Alla densa, ricca, complessa e appassionante saga della potente famiglia euroasiatica, unita da un forte senso del clan e divisa da adulteri e morti, sete di potere e conflitti ideologici, fa via via da sfondo la storia della Cina dal 1900 alla rivoluzione culturale di Mao. Una storia non considerata dall'esterno, ma rivissuta per il lettore con la competenza e la capacità di comprensione e immedesimazione che hanno reso Robert S. Elegant uno dei più profondi conoscitori del mondo cinese. La protagonista più affascinante del romanzo rimane comunque Mary, la straordinaria figlia di un modesto capobanda nell'esercito della regina Vittoria, che nella sua lunghissima vita testimonia e patisce i conflitti originati dalle vertiginose differenze tra la cultura occidentale e quella orientale, e ne fa sperare una non remota composizione. An epic of love and adultery, money and power, set amid the revolutionary turbulence of twentieth-century China, from the author of Manchu and Mandarin. Founder of the Sekloong dynasty of Hong Kong, Sir Jonathan, the illegitimate offspring of an Irish adventurer and his Chinese mistress, overcame colonial prejudice to build a vast and influential trading empire spanning half a century. The marriage of Sir Jonathan s profligate son Charles to the ambitious and beautiful Mary Osgood comes to embody, on both personal and political levels, the tensions between Orient and Occident, and between Nationalists and Communists fighting for control of postimperial China. Dynasty follows the Sekloongs triumphs, tragedies, betrayals, and bloodshed through the decades as they expand and protect their own empire, even as their homeland is torn apart from within by war and ideological upheaval, from the fall of the last emperor to the triumph of Mao Tse-tung. As China turbulently enters the modern world, the Sekloongs also grow in stature and strength as do their desires and wayward passions. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Dinastia.
