«Dinastia» is the family saga novel by Robert S. Elegant, published by Bompiani in paperback (704 pages, in Italian).
The saga follows the Sekloong, a Eurasian family founded by Sir Jonathan. Over three generations they build an economic empire stretching from Hong Kong to the Pentagon, while twentieth-century China experiences wars, nationalism and communism. Power, adultery and conflicting loyalties mark a lineage divided between East and West.
First instalment of the Imperial China series. Originally published as «Dynasty» in 1977; Italian translation by Andrea D'Anna.
Recommended for readers of historical novels and family sagas, especially those interested in twentieth-century China.
