Details of "Falcon - At the Court of Siam by John Hoskins"Date Submitted:
10/14/06 (Edited 10/14/06)
Description:
A True Account of One of the Most Thrilling Periods in Thai History
Set toward the end of the seventeenth century, Falcon at the Court of Siam, recounts the true story of Constantine Phaulkon, a Greek of low birth who spectacularly rose to fame, and infamy, as King Narai's favourite courtier - and in effect, if not in name, First Minister of Siam. No other foreigner, before or since, has ever held such a position of power and influence in Siam.
