Beschreibung
James Clavell's cult historical novel tells the story of English captain John Blackthorne, who in 1600 shipwrecks off the coast of Japan with the Dutch ship Erasmus and becomes a prisoner of the Japanese islands. Thanks to his skills and knowledge, he is soon involuntarily drawn into a remarkable political struggle for power over Japan. Just as the exotic European influences the fate of the Land of the Rising Sun, this environment also influences him: he begins to understand the Japanese sense of politeness and harmony, experiences cruelty and love, and his notions of religion and death transform. Clavell's epic about the clash of two distinct cultures has captivated millions of readers for nearly fifty years and is one of the best-selling historical novels of all time. And now, its lavish series adaptation is also available.
