"Two cultures shape different ways of life. Worlds collide when the English captain John Blackthorne finds himself lost on the shores of Japan in the seventeenth century. After the Englishman Blackthorne loses his way at sea, he wakes up to find himself in a place rarely known to Europeans and seen by fewer — Japan. Thrust into Japan's closed society, where the line between life and death is as thin as a sword's edge, Blackthorne must deal not only with a foreign people with unfamiliar customs and language but also with his own concepts of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political conflict and cultural clash lead to an inevitable struggle, Blackthorne's loyalty and strength of character are tested by emotion and loss, finding himself torn between two worlds that will change forever. Shogun masterfully explores the grandeur and harsh reality of life in feudal Japan. This epic has captivated the world to become one of the best-selling novels of all time, as well as one of the highest-rated TV series. As described by The New York Times: 'Shogun is not just a novel you read... but one you live.'"
