Shogun byl najwyzszym stanowiskiem, jakie smiertelnik mógl osiagnac w Japonii. Shogun oznaczal tytul najwyzszego wojskowego dyktatora. Mógl go posiadac w okreslonym czasie tylko jeden daimyo. I tylko Jego Cesarska Wysokosc, wladajacy cesarz, Boski Syn Niebios, który zyl w odosobnieniu z Cesarska Rodzina w Kioto, mógl go przyznac. W parze z mianowaniem na shoguna szla absolutna wladza - cesarska pieczec i mandat. Shogun rzadzil w imieniu cesarza. Cala wladza pochodzila od cesarza, gdyz jego ród wywodzil sie bezposrednio od bogów. Dlatego kazdy daimyo, który przeciwstawial sie shogunowi, chcac nie chcac buntowal sie przeciwko tronowi cesarskiemu, od razu stawal sie wyrzutkiem, a jego dobra ulegaly konfiskacie. Panujacy cesarz byl czczony jako bóstwo, poniewaz pochodzil w prostej linii od bogini slonca Amaterasu Omikami, córki bóstw Izanagi i Izanami, które ze sklepienia niebieskiego stworzyly wyspy Japonii. Z mocy boskiego prawa do wladajacego cesarza nalezala cala ta ziemia, a wladal on i mial posluch absolutny. W praktyce jednak od ponad szesciu wieków prawdziwa wladza spoczywala poza cesarskim tronem. W rekach shoguna.

Review:
My bet for the most satisfyingly popular novel of the year . . . It has power, it has violence, subtlety and lots, lots more . . . Clavell never puts a foot wrong . . . Get it, read it, you'll enjoy it mightily ( Daily Mirror)
SHOGUN is a huge exotic, blood-stained canvas of sixteenth century but still medieval Japan, rival warlords and proselytising Jesuits, geishas, seppuku, samurai with the death-with and a shipwrecked Elizabethan ( Guardian)

Unquestionably the best historical novel of its kind since Anthony Adverse (Los Angeles Times)
I can't remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. It's irresistable, maybe unforgettable. Clavell ... creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are (New York Times)
Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly (The Times)
One of the great page turners of all time ( Good Book Guide)
