Khatmandu, Nepal, land of the gods, land of snow peaks and temples, tigers and roses, palaces and ranas. Khatmandu, where everyone is a god: men and beasts, stones and trees. Where the mountains are still yound - and ruthless. The novel is based on Han Suyin's experiences as an invited attendee of the coronation of the King of Nepal, an event which is described in the novel. In the preface Han Suyin writes that the book, while being a work of fiction, endeavors to give as exact as picture as is possible of the time. The school at which Anne Ford teaches, many other institutions and places referenced in the book, and of all the named characters, are invented. The Mountain is Young is written in the confessional style and is considered to reflect autobiographical details of the author's personal life, specifically the difficult ending of her second marriage with British officer Leonard Comber, and her meeting of the Indian army colonel, Vincent Ruthnaswamy, who would become her third husband.

Im Hongkong des Jahres 1949 begegnen sich der Engländer Mark und die Chinesin Han. Vor der exotischen Kulisse dieser Stadt, die zum Zufluchtsort vor den chinesischen Kommunisten wird, entwickelt sich eine faszinierende Liebesgeschichte.

A metà del Settencento i gemelli Colin e Bea lasciano la Svizzera per intraprendere un lungo viaggio che li condurrà in Cina: lui è dotato di un eccezionale talento di orologiaio e l'imperatore ha bisogno della sua abilità; lei ha avuto in dono una bellezza ammaliante. Ma è solo quando raggiungono la favolosa città di Ayuthia, con le sue mille cupole dorate, che i due fratelli incontrano il loro destino: Colin s'innamora di una donna che il sovrano vuole invece tutta per sé, mentre Bea si lascia trascinare da una passione che la condurrà al tradimento...

Leur père fabrique des automates, leur mère est, dit-on, une sorcière. Béa et Colin sont jumeaux, liés l'un à l'autre par un étrange et indestructible amour. Nous sommes en 1752, non loin de Lausanne. De tragiques événements les obligent à se réfupq'er à Genève, chez un banquier juif. C'est là qu'ils font la connaissance d'Abdul Reza, riche prince musulman qui les emmène en Chine où Colin peut perfectionner cet art des automates qu'il tient de son père. Quant à sa soeur Béa qui a hérité, elle, des dons mystérieux de sa mère, sa beauté fait des ravages. Forcés une nouvelle fois de fuir, Colin et Béa se retrouvent à Ayuthia, ancienne capitale du Siam. C'est dans cette ville légendaire aux temples couverts d'or, où le roi vit entouré de ses sept cents concubines, et qui est menacée pourtant par les envahisseurs venus de Birmanie, que Colin et Béa vont connaître l'amour, la haine, la violence : un destin hors série.
