O knihe

Most travelers leave home Monday morning
for a work week in the Chicago office saying "Love yah, see
you Friday." The hero in Rules for the
Road is a quantum leap from that lucky character.
Last Friday afternoon he kissed his wife passionately and
said, "Love you, hope to see you before next month arrives."
You don't fly home on Friday afternoons when you find
yourself halfway around the world.
We join our
hero on a train in China headed for Nanjing where he and his
team are about to begin another round of negotiations with a
Chinese company to enter into a joint venture. The meetings,
however, quickly take a back seat to the culture of the
people, their mannerisms, food, drink and the winsome ways
of their women with a personal agenda.
When the
trip gets extended by an extra week and a half, his life and
the temptations of the flesh become almost intolerable. Our
loving husband finds himself swept up in dangerous events
that he has neither contemplated nor imagined. In other
words, the magnetism of his personality has a precarious
impact on the women he meets: this Svengali makes swooning
ladies act out naughty thoughts.
