Heike Story 2
"Immerse yourself in the rich drama of medieval Japan.
Set in Japan in the turbulent 12th century, this fast-paced novel recounts the titanic struggle between two Japanese clans--the Heike and the Genji--as they seek to pacify a fractured nation, ultimately turning on each other in their unbridled lust for power. Written by the great Eiji Yoshikawa, this classic work of fiction brings to life the wars, intrigue, feuds, and romance surrounding the most dramatic episode in Japanese history.
Yoshikawa begins his tale in the magnificent capital of Kyoto, which has recently fallen into chaos as crime and disorder run rampant. The people are abused by the nobility, while Buddhist monks terrorize courtiers and commoners alike. In despair, the Emperor's calls for help are answered by the Heike and Genji families. Although they succeed in bringing order, they eventually fall out while dividing the spoils of war and plunge the country into even greater turmoil.
The book is told through the eyes of Kiyomori, who is the eldest son of Tadamori, the ineffective leader of the Heike clan. Yoshikawa describes the Heike's decline under Tadamori's leadership and the family's descent into poverty. It is only when Kiyomori is appointed to a court position that the Heike's influence grows, much to the displeasure of their rivals, the Genji. Along the way, Kiyomori oversees his clan's ascent, alongside his loyal friend Tokitada.
