Description
Japan's most celebrated tale of honor, loyalty and revenge is presented in this epic retelling of 47 Ronin. In 1701, Lord Asano's actions at court sparked a chain of events that would lead to his downfall and the bravery of his Samurai warriors. The story begins with Lord Asano's punishment for attacking an official - swift and harsh. His lands were confiscated, his family was exiled, and his Samurai warriors were ordered to disband. But while appearing to follow the Emperor's command, they secretly plotted their revenge. Like legendary figures from history, their deeds became famous, enduring as a testament to courage, cunning and loyalty. John Allyn's vivid retelling of this epic tale presents it in its correct historical context, with a foreword by scholar Stephen Turnbull.
