Their passions mingle with monarchs and diplomats, assassins, courtesans and spies. Their fates collide in James Clavell’s latest masterpiece set in nineteenth-century Japan—an unforgettable epic seething with betrayal and secrets, brutality and heroism, love and forbidden passions.… I was really looking forward to reading Gai-Jin, as I really loved the other Clavell novels I have read and I have a great interest in Japanese history, having served in the military in Japan for about eight years and having a Japanese wife who recently passed away. Overall, the novel started off well and was very intriguing for about the first 500 pages, starting off with a samurai attack on Europeans who failed to bow respectfully enough when a procession passed them.

Cathedral of the Sea. It is tragic in many ways as it traces the difficu It is almost impossible to summarise a James Clavell novel in a book review. Like Tai-Pan, the ending disappointed me. While on an outing with friends, Malcolm is attacked by ronin shishi Samurais and seriously wounded.

However, for me, not all the pages turned. The traders have a loose alliance between themselves but also continue to jockey for the best opportunities. Namespaces Article Talk. What happens on a near daily basis is often criminal. I think Clavell was thinking a little too much about his impending mortality he died one year after it was published. The cultural niceites and high-level political negotiations are given a boost of interest with the addition of dangerous elements like double-crosses, back-room negotiations, kingmaking, assassinations and the like.

Gai-Jin - leider enttuschend langweiligVon CPSSchade. Im Groen und Ganzen enttuschend langweilig. Nach 750 Seiten Anlauf etwas Spannung, die aber zum Ende hin wieder abflacht.Wirklich schade. Als Fan von James Clavell war ich sehr enttuscht. Insbesondere Clavells Bcher Shogun, Tai Pan und der Rattenknig waren faszinierend. Das schraubt die Erwartungshaltung sehr hoch.Positiv: Man bekommt einen sehr guten Eindruck von den Schwierigkeiten auf Seiten der Japaner und auf Seiten der Europer nach der ffnung Japans 1853 nach 200 Jahren Isolation.49 von 52 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich.

Rattenknig 5. Noble House 6. Wirbelsturm Die Bcher sind auch in sich verstndlich. Clavell bezieht sich allerdings an mehreren Stellen auf die Handlungen in den vorangegangenen Werken. Clavell ist in fast allen seinen Werken zunchst einmal abschreckend durch den Seitenumfang seiner Bcher.

    Appendix 1 Number of individuals out of every 1000 who could not sign their name on a marriage register: 1896–1907 Male Female Total 1896–1900 32 37 69 1901–1905 20 24 44 1905–1907 27 27 54 355 Appendix 2 Extract from Beatrice Harraden, ‘What Our Soldiers Read’, Cornhill Magazine, vol. XLI (Nov. 1916) Turning aside from technical subjects to literature in general, I would like to say that although we have not ever attempted to force good books on our soldiers, we have of course taken great care to place them within their reach. And it is not an illusion to say that when the men once begin on a better class of book, they do not as a rule return to the old stuff which formerly constituted their whole range of reading. My own impression is that they read rubbish because they have had no one to tell them what to read. Stevenson, for instance, has lifted many a young soldier in our hospital on to a higher plane of reading whence he has looked down with something like scorn – which is really very funny – on his former favourites. For that group of readers, ‘Treasure Island’ has been a discovery in more senses than one, and to the librarians a boon unspeakable. We have had, however, a large number of men who in any case care for good literature, and indeed would read nothing else. Needless to say, we have had special pleasure in trying to find them some book which they would be sure to like and which was already in our collection, or else in buying it, and thus adding to our stock.
