The Novel Epopee
- Recently my friend and I have finished a book which we were reading more than a year.
- It was the novel-epopee by James Clavell called Shogun.
- It has about 1300 pages, quite a big book.
- Besides, we didn’t read for long or every day, just time to time, once even forgot about it for months.
- But we both kept in mind the book.
- The book tells about English navigator who got into Japan and became a samurai.
- Many characters, including Englishman had historical prototype.
- There are so many interesting, unusual, sometimes shocking facts about Japan at that time.
- For example, about seppuku or how little human life means or that many Japanese can’t swim, although live by the sea and so on.
- I really learned a lot and imbued with respect to Japanese culture and worldview.
- And like in book, if something happens I say ”It’s karma”.
- Moreover, we decided to try sake.
- But not just buy it, but cooked it.
- So now we have a bottle where rice with koji tries to become sake...
