The novel called Taipan, by James Clavell, is quite interesting, IMO. He also wrote the novel Shogun, which I didn't enjoy as much. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai-Pan_(novel) Shogun is about Japan in the Samurai period…
…into movies (Get Shorty, Jackie Brown, The Big Bounce) with mixed results, but I do I highly recommend reading the books, which are numerous. For a different sort of fiction, James Clavell's Shogun, Taipan, and Noble House are great. In fact, Noble House very well be my favorite book. It's a long (~1400 page) book about business dealings, political intrigue, and more. All set in the context of 1963 Hong…
Yeah the Asian Saga includes King Rat, Shogun, Noble House, Taipan as well as Gai-gin, The Whirlwind. They're all pretty good books but I believe Taipan, Noble House and Shogun are considered Clavell's best work, in that order (personally I like Noble House best). Thanks…
依我看，James Clavell 写的那本叫《Taipan》的小说挺有意思的。他还写过小说《Shogun》，不过我没那么喜欢。https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai-Pan_(novel) 《Shogun》讲的是日本武士时代的故事……

虚构类：《大班》，James Clavell 著；《The Navigator》，Morris West 著。非虚构类：《奥义书》（不是单单一本书，而是一整套）；《薄伽梵歌》。
Fiction: Taipan, by James Clavell The Navigator, by Morris West Non-fiction: The Upanishads (not a single book, but a bunch of them) The Bhagavad Gita
……改编成电影（《矮子当道》、《危险关系》、《狂野大冒险》），效果褒贬不一，但我强烈推荐读读原著，数量非常多。如果换一种风格的小说，James Clavell 的《Shogun》、《Taipan》和《Noble House》都很棒。事实上，《Noble House》很可能是我的最爱。这是一本厚达约 1400 页的大部头，讲述商业交易、政治阴谋等等。背景全设定在 1963 年的香……

几年前读过那本。里面有些观点挺受用。另一本路数相近的是 James Clavell 的《Taipan》。还有 Clavell 的《King Rat》也是。
Read that years ago. Some good lessons in it. Another one on similar lines is Taipan by James Clavell. Also King Rat by Clavell.
是啊，《亚洲传奇》（Asian Saga）包括《鼠王》（King Rat）、《幕府将军》（Shogun）、《贵族之家》（Noble House）、《大班》（Taipan），还有《外邦人》（Gai-gin）和《旋风》（The Whirlwind）。它们都是相当好的书，但我认为《大班》、《贵族之家》和《幕府将军》被认为是 Clavell 的最佳作品，排名就是这个顺序（我个人最喜欢《贵族之家》）。谢谢……
