James Clavell's Segun audiobook takes you to 16th-century Japan, an age of samurai, war and political intrigue. The plot focuses on the English sailor John Blackthorne, who ended up in Japan after a shipwreck. His adventures and attempts to survive in a completely alien culture become the basis for a fascinating and dramatic narrative.

Blackthorne, once in a country where his language and habits mean nothing, quickly realises that his only chance of survival is to adapt to new conditions and find a way to engage with local authorities. He becomes embroiled in a power struggle between local feudal lords and samurai, and also begins to understand the complex structure of Japanese society and culture.

Clavell details Japanese traditions, military art, political life, and samurai philosophy, creating a rich and authentic picture of Japan at the time. Segun is not only a fascinating historical drama, but also a deep study of cultural differences and human aspirations.
