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. Fluent in Mandarin, author Robert Elegant spent many years in Hong Kong as a journalist and commentator, and has authored many acclaimed books on China. His stirring drama combines vivid writing with a deep understanding of Chinese culture, creating "an action-packed novel. conjured up with perception and vigour" ( The New York Times Book Review ).Read less.

The book explores the picturesque harbours and seaports along the southern coastline of England, from North Foreland to Penzance, highlighting their historical significance, beauty, and the romantic tales that accompany these locations.

The opening of the work introduces readers to the North Foreland, setting a reflective tone as it describes its striking cliffs, the historic lighthouse, and the battles that have taken place in its waters. The narrative weaves together the natural beauty of the landscape with rich historical anecdotes, such as the naval battle between English and Dutch fleets in 1653. It further portrays towns such as Ramsgate and Dover, detailing their significant roles in maritime history, the tales of smugglers and shipwrecks, and the memories of notable figures such as Julius Caesar and St. Augustine. This blend of scenic appreciation and historical context sets the stage for a journey along the captivating south coast of England, promising readers a vivid exploration of both its geography and stories.
