Set in Japan in 1862, 'Gai-jin' tells the story of Malcolm Struan, heir to the powerful trading company Noble House, and his relationship with Angelique Richaud, a young French woman. Their lives intertwine in an exotic Japan, newly open to foreigners (gai-jin), but divided by greed, idealism, and terrorism. The novel explores the passions, secrets, and betrayals in a context of cultural clash between East and West, with Lord Toranaga Yoshi's struggle to modernize Japan as a backdrop.
Charles Edmund Dumaresq Clavell, known as James Clavell, was a British and American writer, filmmaker and a British Army officer during the Second World War. He is best known for his Asian Saga novels, a number of which have had television and film adaptations.
