Description
Flashman and the Dragon follows the adventures of Harry Smith Parkes as he navigates the complexities of 19th-century Chinese politics. When Parkes is mistakenly believed to be involved in a shipment of guns to the Taiping rebels, his life takes an unexpected turn.
As Parkes travels from Shanghai to Peking, he finds himself entangled in the intrigue of the Imperial court and becomes embroiled in the events leading up to the destruction of the Summer Palace. With its blend of historical accuracy and humorous wit, this novel offers a unique glimpse into one of China's most tumultuous periods.
With its richly detailed setting and engaging narrative, Flashman and the Dragon is a compelling read for anyone interested in history or adventure fiction.
