À propos de cet audio
By the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell’s Shogun is soon to be a major FX/Hulu TV series!
Shogun, the classic epic novel of feudal Japan that captured the heart of a culture and the imagination of the world, is now available for the first time in serial format. Part One contains the first half of the complete novel.
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed.
Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shogun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shogun is, as the New York Times put it, ‘'not only something you read—you live it.’‘
Also available: Shogun: Part Two

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 77
Vaelin Al Sorna is a living legend, his name known across the Realm. It was his leadership that overthrew empires, his blade that won hard-fought battles - and his sacrifice that defeated an evil more terrifying than anything the world had ever seen. He won titles aplenty, only to cast aside his earned glory for a quiet life in the Realm's northern reaches. Yet whispers have come from across the sea - rumours of an army called the Steel Horde, led by a man who believes himself a god.

In this 1962 novel, Kerouac's alter ego, Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance. In the words of Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion".

A fitting conclusion
This was a great series of books. The storytelling was excellent, the voice acting was superb. The pieces all fall together in a great way giving you the insight into the true plan of the Shogun.

Fascinating story, masterful narration.
A very engaging story with one of the best performances by a narrator that I have yet come across. I cannot speak to the historical and cultural accuracy of the novel, but I assume and accept some level of romanticism. Beyond that, due to the quality of the performance, I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting a tale that I had read some years ago. I think that I may like it even better in this format, which is rather unusual for me.

Wanted to watch the show but powered through book 1&2 instead!
I have watch 3 episodes of the show, yet in the past 2 weeks I could not stop listening to 40+ hours of content!
This story pulls you in and transports you!
Yes the audio editor SHOULD be shot for weird fades, but after a couple hours you don’t notice it.
The narrator does great voices and I laugh every time he says “BASTARD!”

Great storytelling
Characters bring the history to life, with some embellishment of course. Happy to have read before the show comes out.

Amazing story
I loved the book, no question. However, ghere was an issue with the voice recording. At the end of almost every other sentence, the volume would dip to an imperceptible level, breaking the immersion in the story. In the beginning of the book it was especially prominent. Besides that, I loved the experience.

Whoever did the audio editing for this needs to be shot
How did this get through quality control. Every last word in a sentence is so quiet you can’t hear it at all. Really ruins the experience for such a good book.

Audio is Odd! Enough to distract you from the Story
Right from the get go… the editing of the audio makes it sound like the volume is being turned down constantly. This happens at the end of just about every sentence. It is incredibly distracting. I was listening with headphones. Perhaps I noticed it more than if I were to be playing this on speakers.

All the characters sound like english pirates.
All the characters sound like english pirates. It is very hard to get into the story and I don’t know if i can finish it. I enjoyed Musashi so much I was excited to listen to this as well as it was recommended by audible. Can we get refunds?
