47 Ronin: The Classic Tale of Samurai Loyalty, Bravery and Retribution
Japan's most celebrated tale of honor, loyalty, and revenge—and the basis for the 2013 Hollywood film starring Keanu Reeves. The story chronicles a heroic band of Samurai who defied the Emperor to avenge their master's honor. Beginning in 1701, Lord Asano's attack on an official leads to his forced seppuku and the disbanding of his Samurai, who become Ronin. Over years, they secretly plot to restore their honor, embodying courage, cunning, and loyalty. John Allyn's vivid retelling, with a foreword by scholar Stephen Turnbull, places this epic in its correct historical context.
