The Brides of the Rising Sun (The Goddesses of the World) - Softcover
Book 3 of 5: The Goddesses of the World
Synopsis
Swayed by the stronghanded military regime of the Shogun, Japan left feudalism much later than most European powers. A nation dominated by a rigid samurai code of honor and power-hungry warlords, Japan's transition to modernization, would not be achieved without bloodshed imbued with stoicism, resilience, bravery, deception, treason, and lots of romance.
The most rapturous insight of this historical period, dubbed Bakumatsu, that dragged from 1853 to 1868, is the presence of a Westerner who was instrumental in the political machinations that brought down the shogunate rule and reinstated the emperor to the supreme office, ushering the country into a sort of capitalism.
Thomas Blake Glover, a Scotsman from Aberdeen, had neither advanced academic qualification, nor professional training. Placed in an unseemly place, yet during a crucial period, he was armed with vision, a sharp nose for business and a staunch determination.
Working with the inequalities rather than fighting them, Glover understood cultural differences could survive on reciprocal respect and concessions; forbearance applied when values conflicted.
Living through the twists and turns of Japan's mythic culture, pulling the strings of his hard-harnessed power, Glover forever changed the course of the country of the Rising Sun’s history...
