Beschreibung

An English nobleman and his resourceful niece work together to uncover an international plot that hinges on the actions of a reserved but unpredictable prince. This multilayered story is full of political intrigue, informed by the leaders of its day. Nigel Kingley has grown concerned about the state of England's public affairs. The country's government is focused on singular interests that have left them vulnerable to attack. He and his partners discover a budding alliance among three major powers. There is Russia represented by Nadia Karetsky, Germany led by Oscar Immelan, and Prince Shan, ruler of China. The prince's participation could lead to the failure or success of a critical agreement. The Great Prince Shan is a high stakes tale with millions of lives hanging in the balance. It emphasizes how the decisions of a few can affect millions of lives. E. Phillips Oppenheim masterfully explores a world built on fear and the threat of war. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Great Prince Shan is both modern and readable.

Autor

Edward Phillips Oppenheim was an English author who lived from October 22, 1866, to February 3, 1946. He wrote a lot of best-selling genre fiction with glamorous characters, international drama, and fast-paced action. They were popular forms of fun because they were easy to read. In 1927, he was on the cover of Time magazine. Edward Phillips Oppenheim was born in Tottenham, London, on October 22, 1866. His parents were Henrietta Susannah Temperley Budd and a leather merchant named Edward John Oppenheim. He went to Wyggeston Grammar School until the sixth form in 1883, but had to quit because his family couldn't afford it. For almost twenty years, he worked in his father's business. His father helped pay for the release of his first book, which did just enough to cover its costs. It was under the name "Anthony Partridge" that he released five of his books from 1908 to 1912. To help Oppenheim's writing career, Julien Stevens Ulman (1865-1920), a rich New York leather merchant who liked Oppenheim's books, bought the leather works around 1900 and made him a paid director. He quickly came up with a method that worked and made a name for himself. John Buchan, who was just starting out as a suspense writer, called Oppenheim "my master in fiction" and "the greatest Jewish writer since Isaiah" in 1913.
