(★)(In this colorful and eye-opening story of one of the earliest and most fascinating encounters between East and West, acclaimed historian Giles Milton recounts the true story of William Adams, who in April of 1600 became the first Englishman to set foot in Japan [and who was the inspiration for James Clavell´s bestselling novel´Shogun´]. Within ten years, Adams had taken a Japanese name and risen to the highest levels of the ruling shogun´s court. Seven adventurers were sent to Japan with orders to find and befriend Adams, in the belief that he held the key to exploiting the riches of this forbidden country. But confounded by a culture so different from their own, and hounded by scheming Jesuit monks and fearsome Dutch assassins, they found themselves in a desperate batle for their lives.) |
