«La noble maison. Tome 1» is the historical novel by James Clavell, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (733 pages, in French).
The action takes place in Hong Kong in the 1960s, where the obsession with money marks relations between Britons and Chinese. In just over a week, kidnappings, murders and scams follow one another, in a climate of double-dealing that leads to riots; the city is an essential part of the story.
Novel originally published in English in 1981 as «The Noble House»; this 1989 French edition is the translation by Jacques Martinache and appears on the cover as «Tome 1».
