About the author
Eiji Yoshikawa
539 books783 followersPen-name of Yoshikawa Hidetsugu. Yoshikawa is well-known for his work as a Japanese historical fiction novelist, and a number of re-makes have been spawned off his work.

Eiji Yoshikawa (吉川 英治, August 11, 1892 – September 7, 1962) was a Japanese historical novelist. Among his best-known novels, most are revisions of older classics. He was mainly influenced by classics such as The Tale of the Heike, Tale of Genji, Outlaws of the Marsh, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many of which he retold in his own style. As an example, the original manuscript of Taiko is 15 volumes; Yoshikawa took up to retell it in a more accessible tone, and reduced it to only two volumes. His other books also serve similar purposes and, although most of his novels are not original works, he created a huge amount of work and a renewed interest in the past. He was awarded the Cultural Order of Merit in 1960 (the highest award for a man of letters in Japan), the Order of the Sacred Treasure and the Mainichi Art Award just before his death from cancer in 1962. He is cited as one of the best historical novelists in Japan.

La experiencia de lectura ha mejorado y esta vez le pongo una estrella más que a su predecesor, puesto sigue siendo imposible dar rienda suelta a la posibilidad de tantos encuentros fortuitos entre los personajes, pero a la vez, la historia avanza, se enredan las vidas y el resultado es una grata lectura de aventuras y visualización de la cultura japonesa.
Además, la idea originaria no es que sean tres libros por separado, sino que el autor lo escribió por entregas / por capítulos; por lo que el resultado de su obra será revelada al finalizar los tres libros y no decidir su calidad libro a libro.
Con ganas de empezar la tercera parte.
