This book, written almost a hundred years ago on the basis of the heroic legend of the forty-seven ronin, forever won the hearts of Japanese readers and became the most popular folk novel. The circulation of countless editions of "Ronin of Ako" amounted to tens of millions of copies. Based on the novel were created feature films, television series "samurai drama", radio shows, electronic games, cartoons and comic books. The fascination of the samurai action movie is combined in the novel with detailed elaboration of the historical plot, colorfulness of lyrical descriptions and relief of portraits. Real historical characters - the shogun and nobles of the court, famous artists, poets, philosophers, masters of tea ceremony and martial arts - are resurrected under the pen Osaragi. The heroes of the epic, who avenge the death of their suzerain at the cost of their lives, embody the noble ideals of the samurai code of honor Bushido: justice, humanity, loyalty to duty and contempt for death.
