"From the bestselling author of Shōgun and King Rat comes a richly illustrated children‘s story that takes the listener on a fantastic journey through a magical world.
Thrump-O-Moto is a little wizard and Apprentice Hero who, though sometimes puzzled and afraid, knows that the mightiest forces in the Universe always bow before the Brave and Good. By chance (and a bungled spell) he finds himself traveling not to the shores of Japan to visit his grandmother, but to the Australian outback where he stumbles upon Patricia sitting in the shade. Discovering that Patricia has been caught in the clutches of Nurk-u the Bad, the two of them set out on a Noble Quest to rescue her and defeat the evil wizard, finding the gifts of healing and courage in the process.
As we follow their magical journey through what seems to be many years (or is it just the length of Patricia’s afternoon nap?), Thrump-O-Moto explores a world found only in dreams—a realm of wonder, enchantment, delight, and ever-lurking danger; a place where magic spells are a very serious matter indeed …"
"EL ÉXITO INTERNACIONAL EN EL QUE SE BASA LA SERIE DE DISNEY+
La clásica novela épica sobre el Japón feudal que cautivó el corazón de una cultura y la imaginación del mundo, de James Clavell, autor best seller de The New York Times y maestro sin parangón de la ficción histórica.
Tras perderse en el mar, el inglés John Blackthorne despierta en un lugar que pocos europeos conocen y menos aún han visto: Japón. Inmerso en la hermética sociedad nipona del siglo XVII, una tierra en la que la línea que separa la vida de la muerte es muy fina, Blackthorne debe enfrentarse no sólo a un pueblo extranjero, con costumbres e idioma desconocidos, sino también a sus propias definiciones de moralidad, verdad y libertad.
A medida que las luchas políticas internas y el choque de culturas conducen a un conflicto aparentemente inevitable, la pasión y la pérdida ponen a prueba a Blackthorne, que se debate entre dos mundos que cambiarán para siempre.
La crítica ha dicho:
«No recuerdo la última vez que una novela se apoderó de mi mente tanto como ésta. Es irresistible, tal vez inolvidable. Clavell crea un mundo tan envolvente que te olvidas de quién eres y de dónde estás».
The New York Times
«Tiene fuerza, violencia, sutileza y mucho, mucho más. Clavell nunca se equivoca. Cómpralo, léelo, lo disfrutarás enormemente».

"By the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell’s Shogun is now a major FX/Hulu TV series!
Shogun, the classic epic novel of feudal Japan that captured the heart of a culture and the imagination of the world, is now available for the first time in serial format. Part One contains the first half of the complete novel.
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed.
Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shogun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shogun is, as the New York Times put it, ‘'not only something you read—you live it.’‘

"In this classic and chilling tale about an elementary school classroom in post-war occupied America, James Clavell brings to light the vulnerability of children and the power educators have to shape and change young minds. Originally written in the Cold War era, Clavell’s extraordinary and enduringly relevant allegory on the impressionability of the human mind is still read in schools around the globe today, and is a call to every person to keep questioning and keep learning."
"1963 год. Таинственный и романтичный Гонконг — сердце Азии. Более ста лет назад Дирк Струан, создавший Благородный Дом, мечтал превратить пустынный остров в процветающую колонию и оттуда управлять Азией. И теперь здесь главную роль играют финансы, торговля, судоходство и большой бизнес. В руках Иэна Данросса, нынешнего главы Благородного Дома и блестящего бизнесмена, сосредоточена огромная власть, которую он использует, чтобы спасти компанию от финансового краха. Для этого все способы хороши: переговоры с американским миллионером, рискованная игра на бирже и даже взаимодействие с гонконгскими триадами. Во что бы то ни стало Иэн должен удержать компанию. И у него есть всего неделя…"
"Идет Вторая мировая война, но здесь, в японском лагере для военнопленных, не слышны звуки битвы. Здесь офицеры и солдаты ведут собственную войну за выживание в нечеловеческих условиях.
Кинг, американский капрал, стремится к доминированию и над пленниками, и над захватчиками. Его оружие – это бесстрашие и великолепное знание человеческих слабостей. Он готов использовать любую возможность, чтобы расширить свою власть и развратить или уничтожить любого, кто стоит на его пути. Кинг перепродает ценные предметы пленников охранникам лагеря за деньги, на которые можно купить контрабандную еду. Это противоречит японским правилам и, таким образом, правилам лагеря, но большинство офицеров закрывают глаза на торговлю. Робин Грей является исключением, и он намеревается поймать Кинга.
В 1965 году по роману 'Король Крыс' был снят одноименный фильм, имевший большой успех. Роль Кинга исполнил Джордж Сигал (номинат на премию 'Оскар' и двукратный лауреат премии 'Золотой глобус'), а Робина Грея сыграл Том Кортни (дважды номинат на премию 'Оскар')."
"The gripping epic novel of the 1979 Iranian Revolution by the #1 New York Times bestselling author and unparalleled master of historical fiction, James Clavell
Tehran, Iran 1979: Simmering religious tensions finally explode, and the Iranian people rise up against the Shah. The country, once secular, is now thrown back into an orthodoxy that threatens to tear it apart. The United States and Russia go on high alert, with warships heading to the Middle East. The region becomes a powder keg, waiting to explode. Caught up in the revolution are a British helicopter company and its pilots. The oil fields of Iran need helicopters to ferry workers and administrators, and when the main US aviation company pulls out of Iran fearing what might come next, S-G Helicopters steps in to fill the void. Soon they realize that they, too, must leave or risk losing all their machines to whomever takes control of the country. The company risks bankruptcy if that happens—which would ruin Andrew Gallavan and reveal that the company is actually owned by a secret Hong Kong–based consortium: Noble House, controlled by the Struan family. Caught in between is his son, Scot, a pilot in Iran who must help save his father’s company, but also the other pilots and their families. In a risky move, the pilots concoct a plan to get their choppers out of Iran. But will they be able to escape a country crumbling around them before it’s too late?
A rich panoply of characters brings to life the events of forty years ago, events that even now have ramifications throughout the Middle East and beyond. Fast-paced and full of action and intrigue, Whirlwind is an intricately plotted and detailed tale of war, love, and the ingenuity of the human spirit, told by James Clavell, the unparalleled master of historical fiction."
"Tehran, Iran 1979: Simmering religious tensions explode and the Shah is forced to flee Iran. A British helicopter company—secretly owned by the Noble House of Hong Kong—with a fleet of helicopters registered in Iran faces bankruptcy if their copters are claimed or destroyed by the uprising. The pilots need to escape, but they’ve built lives in Iran, some even have families. Finnish pilot Erikki Yokkonen has married Azadeh, an Iranian woman of noble birth, whose family is caught up in the political situation exploding around them. Tasked with saving as many of the helicopters as he can and desperate to save his love, Erikki and Azadeh become caught up in the events around them.
Threaded throughout master storyteller James Clavell’s novel Whirlwind much like a shimmering strand of silk woven through an elaborate Persian carpet, is the love story of two people from different backgrounds. They have been brought together by a love stronger than either one, a love stronger than the revolutionary fires that burn all around them. A moving story, expertly told, unthreaded from the original masterwork, and allowed to stand on its own, brilliantly."
