SynopsisSOON TO BE AN FX LIMITED SERIES * A bold English adventurer. An invincible Japanese warlord. A beautiful woman torn between two ways of life. All brought together in an extraordinary saga aflame with passion, conflict, ambition, and the struggle for power. Here is the world-famous novel of Japan that is the earliest book in James Clavell's masterly Asian saga. Set in the year 1600, it tells the story of a bold English pilot whose ship was blown ashore in Japan, where he encountered two people who were to change his life: a warlord with his own quest for power, and a beautiful interpreter torn between two ways of life and two ways of love. The principal figures are John Blackthorne, whose dream it is to be the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, to wrest control of the trade between Japan and China from Portuguese, and to return home a man of wealth and position; Toranaga, the most powerful feudal lord in Japan, who strives and schemes to seize ultimate power by becoming Shogun--the Supreme Military Dictator--and to unite the warring samurai fiefdoms under his own masterly and farsighted leadership; and the Lady Mariko, a Catholic convert whose conflicting loyalties to the Church and her country are compounded when she falls in love with Blackthorne, the barbarian intruder. In dramatizing how a Westerner, the representative man of his time, comes to be altered by his exposure to an alien culture, Mr. Clavell provides a spellbinding depiction of a nation seething with violence and intrigue as it moves from the medieval world to the modern.

Great read :) This will become part of your permanent collection.
This is a great read. Grabs u on page one and doesn't let go for another thousand pages or so :) My dog loved the book too. Chewed it into 5 sections. I've kept the 5 sections together for years and re-read it like that. But just noticed the 5th section, the ending, was missing. So had to order a new copy here on Ebay.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Shogun
Probably on of the best books ever written during feudal Japan time period. Master story teller, James C. best book of the entire series, with Tai Pan being next best. Must read Shogun first though, as it sets up for the other books that follow.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
