AikiBib | May 29, 2022 |   ) nvenkataraman1 | Feb 5, 2021 | pszolovits | Feb 3, 2021 | Most of the time it seems the plot is only a pretence for the author to write about ancient Japanese history and customs and draw comparisons between eastern and western values and religions (some of which is surely a bit too anachronistic). Ostensibly it's for the benefit of the hero but it's pretty transparent. Every actions and every event is there to illustrate these. I'm OK with that. I'm finding it hard to believe people kept committing suicide at the drop of a hat but hey, who's gonna disentangle history from legend on that one? I commend him for including all the foul language, gore, defecation, farting, dildos, anal beads.... wait, what? All in all, clearly the author is incredibly enamoured with Japan to the point of coming across as a bit of fanboy. The Catholic church on the other hand gets some well deserved beating for raping boys, colonialism, holy wars, moral backwardness, torture and basically everything bad that has ever happened. Harsh but fair. ( ) Paul_S | Dec 23, 2020 | Cosas que encontraras en este libro: - Planes sobre planes sobre planes sobre planes. La lealtad de los subordinados, el espionaje generalizado, lo formal de los ritos, etc. Hace que los personajes puedan planear y calcular movimientos que sus rivales haran, pero estos saben eso por tanto pueden plantear otro plan basado en como contrarestaran, etc. - Todo el mundo tiene una agenda. En el libro te metes en la cabeza de al menos 10 personas distintas, cada una tiene sus planes sobre planes y a veces entran en conflictos, otras en alianzas con los demas personajes - Los personajes evolucionan, mas notorio es el protagonista, pero los demas por el contacto con el tambien. Este aspecto me recuerda a "The left hand of darkness". - Romance - Accion y suspense. Nunca sabes que va a pasar por lo de arriba, cada actor puede sorprenderte con su nuevo plan, recuerdo cuando me quedarian 150 paginas o asi y pensaba en escribir este comentario que ocurrio algo que casi se me cae la barbilla al suelo, en serio? No me lo podia creer, pero cuando me quedaban 120 paginas ocurrio algo todavia mas rompedor, es todo asi. (  ) trusmis | Nov 28, 2020 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: By the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell's Shogun is soon to be a major FX/Hulu TV series! Shogun, the classic epic novel of feudal Japan that captured the heart of a culture and the imagination of the world, is now available for the first time in serial format. Part Two contains the second half of the complete novel. After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seenNippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne's loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed. Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shogun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shogun is, as the New York Times put it, ''not only something you readyou live it.''
