The Struan family and company (also called the Noble House in Clavell's novels) is a fictional family featuring heavily in many of the Asian Saga novels by writer James Clavell. The family plays an important role in the novels Tai-Pan, Noble House, Gai-Jin, and Whirlwind (novel)|Whirlwind.
The fictional Struan family is based on the historical 'Jardine' family -- Jardine-Matheson.
The Struan family begins its journey with the story of Dirk Struan, a trader of opium and other goods between China and England. Dirk is the founder of the Noble House and plays a major role in establishing Hong Kong.
Tai-Pan is the first book about the Struan family, although it is preceded by Shogun (novel)|Shogun in the Asian saga.
