Clavell, James
James Clavell, the son of a Royal Navy family, was educated in Portsmouth before, as a young artillery officer, he was captured by the Japanese at the Fall of Singapore. It was on this experience that his bestselling novel KING RAT was based. He maintained this oriental interest in his other great works: TAI-PAN, SHOGUN, NOBLE HOUSE and GAI JIN. Clavell lived for many years in Vancouver and Los Angeles, before settling in Switzerland, where he died in 1994.

Sh¿gun - Osa 2
Suurromaanin toisessa osassa rakkaus ja uskollisuus ovat vaakalaudalla valtaistuimen varjoissa. Intensiivisten alkutaisteluiden jälkeen sotaherra Toranaga ylentää englantilaisen luotsin John Blackthornen samurain arvoon. Uusi asema luo luottamusta paikallisissa, mutta Blackthornen ja aatelisnaisen Marikon salattu suhde on nyt suuressa vaarassa paljastua. Ketkä tietävät ja kuinka paljon? Samanaikaisesti Toranagan uhkarohkea suunnitelma Japanin valtaistuimen valloittamiseksi herättää epäluuloa alamaisten keskuudessa, ja pian mies huomaakin, että voi luottaa vain itseensä. Kun hovin juonet saavuttavat huippunsa, kenenkään henki ei ole enää turvattu. Sh¿gun on James Clavellin ylistetty mestariteos, jossa jokainen liittolaisuus ja petos muuttuu elämän ja kuoleman tanssiksi. Kenestä tulee mahtava Sh¿gun, Japanin hallitsija, ja ketä kohtalo rankaisee kaikista julmimmalla tavalla? Sh¿gun julkaistaan suomeksi kolmessa osassa."On lähes mahdotonta olla jatkamatta Sh¿gunin lukemista, kun kirjan on kerran avannut. Silti sitä ei pelkästään lue - sen elää" -New York Times

Gai-jin
"Gai-jin" è il terzo romanzo della saga asiatica di James Clavell e ha come sfondo il Giappone della seconda metà del XIX secolo. È il 1862 e il potere dello Shogun si indebolisce sempre di più: tra le fazioni rivali si accende una lotta senza scrupoli per impadronirsi dell'Impero. A Yokohama, anche i gai-jin, gli odiati stranieri, cercano di trarre profitto dallo scompiglio per imporre il proprio Tai-Pan sulla dinastia degli shogunati. Clavell ci descrive l'epopea di un'epoca e di una civiltà raffinata, violenta e sottoposta a una rigida tradizione colta nel momento dell'inarrestabile declino.

Shogun. Ediz. tie-in
Partito alla volta dell'Oriente per il monopolio olandese del commercio con Cina e Giappone, John Blackthorne, comandante dell'Erasmus, si ritrova costretto da una tremenda tempesta al naufragio in un villaggio di pescatori nel Giappone feudale del XV secolo. In quel mondo sconosciuto e lontano, Blackthorne deve trovare il modo di sopravvivere. Grazie al suo coraggio, che lo condurrà sulla via dei samurai, con il soprannome di Anjin (il navigatore) diventerà il fido aiutante dello Sh¿gun e nella sua ascesa al potere conoscerà l'amore impossibile per la bella e ambigua Mariko. Sullo sfondo di una civiltà raffinata, violenta e sottoposta a una rigida divisione in caste, un romanzo avvincente fatto di avventure, intrighi, amore, filosofia orientale e storia che, tra massime zen e battaglie cruente, alterna fino all'ultima pagina poesia e tensione narrativa.
