About This Novel

This book tells the legendary life of the Englishman William Adams (Japanese name: Miura Anzhen) and the story of the British opening up the Far East route in the 16th and 17th centuries. The author Giles Milton uses first-hand materials such as letters, diaries, and logbooks from his time to vividly and detailedly reproduce the British maritime adventures and the experiences of William Adams and other British people in Japan. This book shows readers a beautiful and mysterious medieval Japan, and helps readers understand a little-known aspect of the history of East-West exchanges in the Age of Discovery.
