书籍介绍
这不是一本好读的爽文。它厚、字小、行密，开篇劝退了不少读者，冗长到有人干脆放弃；可正是这份“慢”，让它得以把两个文明碰撞的每个褶皱都摊开给你看：幕府内部繁复到近乎苛刻的“面子”往来、对叛乱的零容忍与“除非你赢”的现实逻辑、以及一个英国水手闯入黑船时代时的局促与僭傲。作者刻意借西方人的眼睛打量日本，有人因此读出淡淡的居高临下，也有人从中看见史诗级的文化对立。它适合愿意被篇幅“惩罚”、却也想真正沉进那个权谋、信仰与情欲交织的世界的读者——慢热，但一旦读进去，便很难放下。

精彩摘录
- "回想倒霉的事情是最容易的。如你对自已的思想放任不管的话，邪念将把你卷进无穷的痛苦深渊。然而，想愉快的事情就不那么容易了。这是件需要训练的事。所以，你得训练你的思想去回味那芬芳的香味，那抚摸绸子的感觉，那落在移门上的轻轻雨点声，那插花的曲线，以及拂晓时的恬静。到那时，你就会驾轻就熟，使自己受益无穷。"
- "“Therefore the Netherlands— your allies— are in a state of rebellion against their lawful king?” “They’re fighting against the Spaniard, yes. But—” “Isn’t that rebellion? Yes or no?” “Yes. But there are mitigating circumstances. Serious miti—” “There are no ‘mitigating circumstances’ when it comes t"

惊呆了的好书
A bit wordy but still one of the most marvelous stories ever written. Have to admit that I was intimated by its size but once you dive into it, something just grasp you and draw you into this great adventure till it quietly ends. My very first James Clavell. Stereotypical but in a good way.
确实长，字小行密且厚，但看起来挺爽的。很流畅。里面日本男主后来是三船敏郎演的。故事很好看，文化差异和人物个性虽然有不少，怎么说，商业化的类型感，但整体人物塑造都很有意思。
冗长，读不下去
