NOW A MAJOR GOLDEN GLOBE-WINNING TV SERIES

Clavell never puts a foot wrong . . . Get it, read it, you’ll enjoy it mightily - Daily Mirror.

This is James Clavell's masterpiece; an epic saga of Pilot-Major John Blackthorne and his entanglement in the struggles and intrigues of Japan's feudalism. Both entertaining and insightful, SHOGUN is a thrilling dramatic recreation of a very different world.

Beginning with a shipwreck on this most foreign shore, the novel depicts Blackthorne's rise from the lowest rank of despised foreigner to the positions of trusted advisor and eventually, Samurai. All this as civil war spreads over the fragile country.

"I cannot remember when a novel has seized me like this one. It is irresistible, perhaps unforgettable. Clavell creates a world so engrossing that you forget who you are and where you are." - New York Times
