Popis
With material from the original manuscript, here for the first time is the complete, uncut edition of King Rat, the fourth novel in James Clavell’s bestselling Asian Saga. Set against the seething backdrop of a World War II prison camp in Japanese-occupied territory, King Rat is an epic novel of savagery and survival – and of one man’s all-consuming struggle for dominance over captives and captors alike. Passages bring Clavell’s now-classic story out of the confines of a brutal prison camp and into the outside world… into the lives of the women deprived of their men, living on memories, hopes, and regret – women whose courage transcends the madness that surrounds them.
