Tokugawa Ieyasu: the Overlord's House

J

He was born in the closed and backward Sanhe area. He was separated from his biological mother when he was three years old and was taken as a hostage in another country when he was six years old. The bitter and miserable life of a hostage has tempered his incomparable tenacity and alert and steady personality. When he became an adult, he succeeded him as the city lord, but there were many wealthy families in his territory and powerful enemies outside his territory. In order to survive in troubled times, he did not hesitate to act as cannon fodder for Imagawa Yoshimoto, and then led the Mikawa samurai to follow Oda Nobunaga in various expeditions. He had just won his own living space, but he had to kill his wife and son in order to win Nobunaga's trust. After Nobunaga dreamed of destroying Honnōji Temple, Hideyoshi took control of the situation first. On the one hand, he bowed to the knees of generations of noble samurai and bowed at the feet of Hideyoshi, who was born in a humble family; on the other hand, he devoted himself to expanding his sphere of influence in local areas. When the opportunity came, he struck decisively and completely destroyed potential enemies. His greatest characteristic is summed up as "patience". Perhaps in order to be able to compete with many geniuses, this ordinary person with neither extraordinary creativity nor outstanding talent can only use "patience" to temper and improve himself. But patience is to go a further distance. He, uncreative, devoted himself to imitating the strengths of others, combining Takeda's art of war, Nobunaga's decisiveness, and Hideyoshi's strategy. He conquered Nobunaga and Hideyoshi with his integrity and loyalty, but when Hideyoshi died, he suddenly became a cunning leader. It can be seen that his integrity and loyalty are by no means sincere, but just a way of doing things to cover up his sharp edge. Ryotaro Shiba uses smooth and sharp writing to describe the tortuous life of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of a dynasty, from hostage to king, allowing readers to deeply understand Tokugawa Ieyasu's brilliance, forbearance and cunning as a strategist.

The leader of the black slave uprising sounded the strong voice of freedom in desperate situations! The Pulitzer Prize winner analyzes history with words of blood and tears! This book is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book and has been certified by Time magazine as one of the Top 100 English Novels. Its content subverts the traditional heroic narrative and has a more shocking soul confession than "Braveheart". It witnesses the darkness of human nature at the intersection of violence and compassion. The author uses words to penetrate the fog of history and reconstructs the truth with a seven-thousand-word confession: He is trapped between the slave world and the free world, unable to reach or escape. In 1831, the black prophet Nat Turner launched the only effective and sustained uprising in the history of black slavery in the United States. After this failure Turner was tried, convicted and hanged in Jerusalem, Virginia. William Styron wrote the novel "The Confessions of Nat Turner" based on real historical figures. He used first-person narration to revive the hanged uprising leader in literature. He not only captured the courage of people under oppression, but also captured the hesitation of those who were unable to advance or retreat, and the loneliness of those who had no support. With his profound understanding of complex social reality and complex human nature, Styron gave Nat Turner a rich flesh and blood that was never shown in macro historical narratives. This is not a black-and-white epic of resistance, but a soulful lament that explores the complexity of human nature amid oppression and violence.
