L'histoire des 47 ronins est une legende nationale au Japon, l'histoire vraie de 47 samourais qui, au XVIIIe siecle, vengerent leur maitre au mepris de la mort, un acte d'honneur et de loyaute absolus selon les codes guerriers du Bushido. Pendant presque deux ans, ils preparerent murement leur vengeance, plongeant dans la clandestinite, menant en apparence une vie relachee dans les maisons de jeu et de plaisir, avant de prendre d'assaut la demeure de Kira Yoshinaka, responsable de la mort de leur seigneur, de lui couper la tete et de l'apporter sur la tombe de leur maitre. Le shogun les condamna a se faire seppuku, le suicide rituel des samourais, chatiment autant qu'hommage a ces hommes fideles jusqu'au sacrifice a la Voie des guerriers. De cet episode qui a donne lieu a d'innombrables ouvrages, pieces de theatre, series et films au Japon, Osaragi Jiro a tire un roman dont l'originalite est de suivre le point de vue d'un fils de nobles dechus, devenu espion au service de Kira Yoshinaka. Aux cotes du voleur Jinjuro l'Araignee, il est l'oeil secret observant la conjuration. Tout autour de lui, une multitude de personnages campent une vision tres fouillee de cette epoque prospere du Japon, ou la vengeance des samourais va eclater comme un coup de tonnerre dans un ciel trompeusement serein. Un grand roman de cape et d'epee, remarquablement ecrit, qui vous tient en haleine jusqu'a la derniere page. …

In "The Journey", a rich and eventful novel, told on a far more realistic plane than is customary in Japanese fiction, he dramatizes the themes of love and money, and the American impact on Japan at the end of the Occupation. --- The title refers not to any one journey, but to life, which traditionally, in Japan, is a journey without destination. Under American influence, the destination has become everything,; in Osaragi's view, the Japanese have become strivers even when, in prosperity, they need no longer strive' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'irō Osaragi, 9 October 1897 - 30 April 1973) was the pen-name of a popular Japanese writer in Shōwa period Japan, known primarily for his historical fiction novels, which appeared serialized in newspapers and magazines. His real name was Kiyohiko Nojiri. Osaragi lived in Kamakura, Kanagawa prefecture from 1921 to his death in 1973. Osaragi was a central figure in Kamakura's literary life, and he also campaigned avidly for the protection of Kamakura's scenic beauty. When housing developers threatened the mountainside behind Kamakura's famous Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū, he banded together with a number of famous writers and artists (including Hideo Kobayashi, Nagai Tatsuo, Yasunari Kawabata, Riichi Yokomitsu, Itō Shinsui, Kiyokata Kaburagi), residing in Kamakura to oppose the development. This led to the foundation of the Japan National Trust, modeled after the National Trust in Great Britain, and which has been successful in preserving the historical ambience of Kamakura and parts of other cities around Japan.'
