Über den Autor

Screenwriter, director, producer, and novelist, James Clavell, was born on October 10, 1924, in Sydney, Australia. Clavell's full name was Charles Edmund DuMaresq de Clavelle. Though he wrote screenplays for such highly-acclaimed films as The Fly, The Great Escape, and To Sir With Love, Clavell is mehr anzeigen best known for his best-selling, grand novels. The novels, which are set in the Far East, include King Rat, Tai-pan, Shogun, Noble House, and Gai-Jin. Remarkable for their scrupulous attention to cultural detail and their innovative plots, Clavell's work has been compared to that of Charles Dickens. Clavell died on September 7, 1994, at the age of 69. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Shōgun: The Complete Novel von James Clavell

I'd actually read Shogun before as a teenager, following the first TV series adaptation. Which was an EVENT. Those were the days when there were only 4 TV stations in the UK and Everyone watched the adaptation - which was brilliant. So with all the buzz around the remake, I wanted to reread via audio before watching the remake. It's a very long book - 54 hours. It remains a brilliant book and mostly didn't outstay its welcome. I did get slightly fed up towards the end just before the final plot conclusions. But it's worth the investment of your time and energy to meet these characters and their environment and their politics and culture.
I don't know if I have the energy or interest to read any more Clavell but everyone should read Shogun.
All I need now is time to watch the remake......… (mehr)

The Great Taking von David Rogers Webb

Perspectives about the agendas, both hidden and public, in regard to the elites willing to take control of essential world elements and thus implant their evil plans. A perspective from a former stock market insider and financier as well an economic analyst.

Shōgun (Asian Saga, #1) von James Clavell

A fantastic, fact-based fictional drama of a foreigner integrating into historic Japan. In the end, it is mostly a love story. Nevertheless, the book is filled with deep cultural insights.
Quite a long read, so mostly recommended for people interested in other cultures.
