Richard Mason - The world of Suzie Wong
Signet, 1960
288 str.
meki povez
stanje: dobro

The timeless story of the love affair between a British artist and a Chinese prostitute.

Robert is the only resident of the Nam Kok hotel not renting his room by the hour when he meets Suzie at the bar. She becomes his muse and they fall in love. But even in Hong Kong, where many white expatriates have Chinese mistresses, their romance could jeopardize the things they each hold dear. Set in the mid-1950s, The World of Suzie Wong is a beautifully written time capsule of a novel. First published more than fifty years ago, it resonated with readers worldwide, inspiring a film starring William H olden, a ballet, and even a reggae song. Now readers can experience the romance of this groundbreaking story anew.

A scene from the Paramount Release starring WILLIAM HOLDEN in Ray Stark`s THE WORLD OF SUZIE WONG, co-starring NANCY KWAN with Sylvia Syms and Michael Wilding. Directed by Richard Quine. Screenplay by John Patrick. Technicolor®.
