First edition, inscribed by the author shortly before publication on the initial leaf, "This is for Christie - (Segal) who? James C., Los Angeles, June 14th, '75". It was published in America nine days later on 23 June, preceding the UK edition of 29 September. Inscribed copies are scarce. Based on the life of William Adams, alias Miura Anjin (1564-1620), the English navigator who reached Japan in 1600, Clavell's best-selling historical novel has "probably conveyed more information about Japan to more people than all the combined writings of scholars, journalists, and novelists since the Pacific War" (Smith, p. xii). It inspired the two miniseries of 1980 and 2024 and the musical of 1990. It is the third and the most popular work in Clavell's Asian Saga and was based on his experiences during the Second World War, when he was captured by Japanese soldiers and interned at Changi prison near Singapore.
