Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Immerse yourself in the rich drama of medieval Japan.Set in Japan in the turbulent 12th century, this fast-paced novel recounts the titanic struggle between two Japanese clans the Heike and the Genji as they seek to pacify a fractured nation, ultimately turning on each other in their unbridled lust for power. Written by the great Eiji Yoshikawa, this classic work of fiction brings to life the wars, intrigue, feuds, and romance surrounding the most dramatic episode in Japanese history.The book is told through the eyes of Kiyomori, who is the eldest son of Tadamori, the ineffective leader of the Heike clan. Yoshikawa describes the Heike's decline under Tadamori's leadership and the family's descent into poverty. It is only when Kiyomori is appointed to a court position that the Heike's influence grows, much to the displeasure of their rivals, the Genji. Along the way, Kiyomori oversees his clan's ascent, alongside his loyal friend Tokitada.The new edition has a foreword by historian Alexander Bennett, who explains the historical backdrop of the novel and its importance as a towering work of historical fiction. Combining raw narrative power, pageantry, and poetry, The Heike Story will enthrall readers interested in the drama and spectacle of ancient Japan.
