In 'Hong-Kong et Macao', Joseph Kessel transports us to a fascinating world in 1957. This book tells the story of a myth: the nerve center of opium and the capital of gambling, transformed into two border posts between the Western world and China. Through its pages parade singular characters and surprising stories, which include from the secret police to no man's land, hidden riches, prostitutes and people in misery. Kessel, with his unique style, manages to capture the essence of these places and their people, offering a deep and captivating vision of an era and an enigmatic world.
Joseph Kessel, also known as "Jef", was a French journalist and novelist. He was a member of the Académie française and Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour.
