Shogun

by: James Clavell (author)

Powieść Jamesa Clavella, autora bestsellerów ("Król szczurów", "Noble House") posłużyła za kanwę wielokrotnie nagradzanego serialu telewizyjnego będącego retrospektywną historią o miłości i wojnie osadzonej w widowiskowych realiach feudalnej Japonii początków XII wieku. Richard Chamberlain gra Johna Blackthorne'a, nawigatora angielskiego okrętu, który rozbija się u wybrzeży Japonii. Cudem ocalony, staje się naocznym świadkiem śmiertelnych walk o tron Szoguna, w które uwikłany jest feudalny władca, Toranaga. Wciągnięty w tę walkę Blackthorne zostaje pierwszym w historii obcokrajowcem, który dostąpił zaszczytu pasowania na samuraja.
