Produktbeschreibung
In "The Great Prince Shan," E. Phillips Oppenheim crafts an enthralling narrative set against the exotic backdrop of early 20th-century China. The novel intricately weaves elements of political intrigue and romance, showcasing Oppenheim's masterful storytelling and nuanced character development. With sharp dialogue and vivid descriptions, the story follows the machinations of a Chinese royal navigating the treacherous waters of Western imperialism and personal ambition, rendering a rich context that reflects contemporary anxieties about empire and nationalism. Oppenheim's adeptness at creating suspense and his keen observations of human nature elevate this work within the genre of spy fiction prevalent during his time. E. Phillips Oppenheim, often dubbed the "Prince of Stories," was an influential English novelist whose prolific output mirrored the tumultuous socio-political landscape of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. His experiences as a journalist and a keen observer of international affairs informed his gripping narratives, and his familiarity with the workings of diplomacy certainly shaped his portrayal of the complexities inherent in "The Great Prince Shan." This novel is a compelling exploration of cultural intersections and a prescient commentary on the consequences of power, making it essential reading for those interested in historical fiction and geopolitical dynamics. Oppenheim'Äôs ability to blend suspense with moral dilemmas renders this book not only an entertaining read but also a thought-provoking piece worthy of further reflection.

Autorenporträt
Phillips Oppenheim was born on October 22, 1866, in Tohhenham, London, England, to Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and Edward John Oppenheim, a leather retailer. After leaving school at age 17, he helped his father in his leather business and used to write in his extra time. His first novel, Expiration (1886), and subsequent thrillers piqued the interest of a wealthy New York businessman who eventually bought out the leather business and made Oppenheim a high-paid director.He is more focused on dedicating most of his time to writing. The novels, volumes of short stories, and plays that followed, numbering more than 150, were about humans with modern heroes, fearless spies, and stylish noblemen. The Long Arm of Mannister (1910), The Moving Finger (1911), and The Great Impersonation (1920) are three of his most famous essays.
