<p><b>A thrilling romantic historical adventure, set in medieval Japan, tinged with fantasy and revolving around the art of <i> waka </i> poetry</b></p>_______<p><b>'A charming, magical, picaresque journey through medieval Japan', Sean Lusk, author of <i> The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley </i></b></p>______<p> Matsuo is expected to be a samurai, like his father before him. But as he is training in the art of war, he realises he was destined for a different art altogether. Turning his back on his future as a warrior of the sword, he decides instead to do battle with words, as a poet.</p><p>Thus begins a story of intrigue and adventure, passion and betrayal. Matsuo's quest to find his true self, and his true love, takes him across medieval Japan, through bloody battlefields and burning cities. But his ultimate test will be the uta awase - a tournament where Japan's greatest poets engage in fierce verbal combat for the honour of victory, and where Matsuo will find himself fighting for his life.</p>

'A charming, magical, picaresque journey through medieval Japan, filled with mystery, meaning and wonderful imagery. Denis Theriault's brilliant evocation of the noble art of the waka (classical Japanese poetry) is an absorbing, pacy and immensely enjoyable read' - Sean Lusk, author of The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley

Övrig information

Denis Thriault is an award-winning author, playwright and screenwriter living in Montreal. He has long been fascinated by Japan, and Japanese poetry in particular. Haikus were central to his The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman, which was an international bestseller, translated into sixteen languages across the world, won the Japan-Canada Book Prize and was selected for the Radio 2 Book Club in the UK. The Samurai of the Red Carnation once again revolves around traditional Japanese verse, and is set during the medieval golden age of poetry in Japan.
