About This Item
Synopsis
Gai-Jin is a 1993 novel by James Clavell, chronologically the third book in his Asian Saga, although it was the last to be published. Taking place about 20 years after the events of Tai-Pan, it chronicles the adventures of Malcolm Struan, the son of Culum and Tess Struan, in Japan. The story goes into depth on the political situation in Japan and the hostility Westerners faced in Japan, and is loosely based on the Namamugi Incident and the subsequent Anglo-Satsuma War.
Reviews
This monumental work was the third in James Clavell's six part saga of Asia and Japan. Grand in scope and scale, filled with the richness and passion of two great histories coming together, Mr. Clavell weaves an extraordinary tale of Japan, newly opened to Gai-Jin -- foreigners -- and teeming with contradictions as the ancient and the modern day world of the latter 19th century meet in a clash of cultures, of nations, of generations.
