Descrizione
This is James Clavell's tour-de-force; an epic saga of one Pilot-Major John Blackthorne, and his integration into the struggles and strife of feudal Japan. Both entertaining and incisive, SHOGUN is a stunningly dramatic re-creation of a very different world.
Starting with his shipwreck on this most alien of shores, the novel charts Blackthorne's rise from the status of reviled foreigner up to the hights of trusted advisor and eventually, Samurai. All as civil war looms over the fragile country.

I have to admit I pick this book up because someone said I wouldn't like it because it was a man's book. What tosh! I loved it... They were a few difficult scenes to stomach. I have to admit. It's just fun. It keeps you on your toes. It keeps you emotionally invested. It makes you sad. It makes you angry. It's really funny. To that many books that I literally laugh out loud too, but this was one of them. I let out a very loud hooting laugh on the bus once. Probably not for the faint-hearted. Perfectly readable for a woman.

It's so much information I got lost halfway through the book. But overall great plot
