Synopsis

Startling historical fiction set in a transforming Japan, where love, duty, and national change collide.

A sweeping tale that blends personal passion with the sweep of history, this edition centers on the Lords of Dawn and their circle as Japan moves from the shadow of the Edo era toward a modern future. Rich in atmosphere, it follows noble families, samurai, and courtiers through intimate scenes of longing, memory, and loyalty, against a backdrop of political upheaval, court intrigue, and the forging of a new Japan. The narrative moves between motor-lit cities, serene estates, and the quiet acts of daily life that reveal how a nation and its people adapt to upheaval.

• Vivid characters: lords, samurai, and a network of family ties and loyalties
• Historical scope: from Edo-period Japan toward the dawn of modernization
• Interwoven themes: love, sacrifice, duty, and national identity
• Delicate storytelling that balances personal drama with social change

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong sense of place, culture, and the costs of progress.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Shoguns, the Nation was governed continuously by various -powerful families till the year 1868; when the Imperial adherents overcoming the Shogunate, the Mikado re-assumed the sole active government of the country. As the Proscenium of the Theatre lights upland the Orchestra commences attuning its instruments, the mind of the Audience focuses expectantly upon the unfolding of theplot3 and the sustaining of the various roles by the actors. The curtain is rising upon an entirely new Drama in the Theatre of Life. Heretofore its music has been interpreted by Occidental ears, in the booming of cannon and clash of steel. But there is an underlying motif, deeper great errand more truly humane undistinguishable by those ignorant of Japanese melody and this motif carries in it no suggestion of the Eat tie Marches of other Nations of the Great World. As to the manner in which the actors of this Drama sustain their roles the World must be the judge. In this book both historical events and characters represent National conditions solely; yet it would be but a sorry Play that contained in its unfolding nothing of the greatest of all human passions and incentives Love.
