Description

A mesmerizing epic set in 17th century Japan...

A brave English sailor. An undefeated Japanese warlord. A beautiful woman torn between two worlds.

The English captain John Blackthorne loses consciousness battling the waves and wakes up on the shores of Nippon, a place that few Europeans have visited. Forced to live in the feudal society of 17th century Japan, Blackthorne must find a way to coexist with a people with completely different customs, traditions, and language. Soon, he will meet Mariko, a descendant of an aristocratic family, and become a member of the court of the powerful Toranaga, who aspires to conquer the title of Shogun, the supreme military leader of all Japan.

The Shogun masterfully portrays the harsh reality of life in feudal Japan.

The gripping novel that captivated the international audience and served as the basis for the classic 1980 TV series as well as the new television blockbuster of 2024.
