厂丑艒驳耻苍 (Asian Saga, #1)

5-star rating system does no justice to "Shogun" - give it SEVEN stars.
Brilliant historical novel surrounding the events of Ieaysu's victory/consolidation of warlords in Japan ca. 1600.
Mostly told through the eyes of an English navigator - who gradually becomes Japanese as the story unfolds.
This story has everything - chivalry, honor, romance, ambition, war, violence, expert characterization, compelling plot, keen conception of Japanese Culture.

Let me encourage you to expand your review - say why it's worthy of reading (and re-reading).
I would, but the last time I read it was 30 years ago.
Yes. My favourite book of all time. Ten stars.
