Description:

<i>Shōgun</i> – den verdensberømte romanen om Japan – foregår i år 1600, og er beretningen om den dristige engelske sjøfarer, John Blackthorne, som i en forrykende storm driver i land i Japan om bord i sitt skip <i>Erasmus</i>. Her møter han to mennesker som får avgjørende innflytelse på hans liv. En kriger og lensherre, Toranaga, som ønsker å oppnå total makt, og en vakker kvinnelig tolk, Mariko, som er splittet mellom to livsformer.

Englendere John Blackthornes store drøm er å utforske disse fjerne himmelstrøk, fravriste portugiserne deres innflytelse, ikke minst i handelen mellom Japan og Kina, og vende hjem med berømmelse og rikdom.

Toranaga er Japans mektigste lensherre og arbeider intenst på å tilrive seg total makt ved å bli Shōgun – den øverste militære diktator – og forene de mange samurai-lenene under sin mektige og vidtskuende ledelse.

Tolken Mariko har antatt den katolske tro, og hennes splittede lojalitet mellom troskapen mot kirken og sitt eget folk blir enda mer komplisert da hun forelsker seg i den fremmede barbaren og fredsforstyrreren, Blackthorne.

Deres veier krysses i en tid og på et sted som flammer av strid, lidenskap, ærgjerrighet, sanselighet og en uavbrutt kamp om makt. Clavell gir oss et fascinerende bilde av en nasjon som syder av vold og intrige, på grensen mellom middelalderen og den moderne verden og viser hvordan en vesterlending som typisk representant for sin tid blir forandret i møtet med en fremmed og eksotisk kultur.

Yes, that is allowed to keep all the parts linked together.

If that is the correct way of doing it, then can you merge these two series into that big one also?

and

If we found another series that separated Shogun into 4 parts we could combine them. Have to combine equals. These are not equals.

1st one is 2 parts, 2nd one is 5 parts and a different book. oh wait u mean into the big one. like you said. sorry, let me look

[[deleted user]]

ok first one was already on pub, added to chrono tho

Both on both lists now

From the other request there is also series made for the split editions of an other work of the series https://www.goodreads.com/series/2161...
I don't know if the other works are also split for the Norwegian editions, but I'm not sure if the best way is to create for each work a separate series for the split editions.

One option could be to create a single series for the Norwegian split editions, the same way it is done for several different split editions of the Harry Potter books.

I like that. If they are all contained in a series there would be no need for individual book split series which seems over the top. A rule would be nice though so it was consistent and reliable.

Please combine these:

P.S. Same story different titles because of the region they're published in.

Please don't use a thread that is off topic.
This folder is for series.

You can use a general "please combine" thread, or start a new thread in folder "Book Issues".

A single rule would be difficult, because the other option is to add split editions as non-primary works to the main series, but with the number of books in this case I don't think it is the best way for this case.

Norwegian editions removed from original series and a link added to bottom of desc saying: See the Norwegian language editions here: https://www.goodreads.com/series/2163... (the link isn't added to the HP ones so maybe I should remove this)

Asian Saga: Pub order https://www.goodreads.com/series/7177...
Asian Saga: Chrono order https://www.goodreads.com/series/1218...

That is what you want/suggest?

[Halvor (Raknes)]

Corinne, you've written "Norweign" in all places.
