The Taipan
Episode 2 of 5
Martin Jarvis reads Somerset Maugham's disturbing tale of a smug businessman, set in 1922 Hong Kong.
Part of a series of stories revealing the best - and worst - of the Nation's behaviour on foreign soil.
Martin Jarvis reads Somerset Maugham's classic 1922 story The Taipan. A self-satisfied business man lives and works in Hong Kong, where his lifestyle far exceeds anything he could have achieved at home in the UK. But in the Far East, inexplicable - even frightening - things can happen.
