In a new translation - a magnificent novel of a modern classic by David Mitchell, twice finalist for the Booker Prize, author of such intellectual bestsellers as "Dream No. 9", "Cloud Atlas" (recently screened by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski brothers), "The Hungry House" and others. Dejima is a tiny island at the side of huge feudal Japan, a Dutch trading post. Japan is a tiny island country at the side of the whole huge world, from which it has been cut off for several centuries and which wants to snatch a tidbit from it, and the Dutch trading post is the only window to this world. A young clerk, Jacob de Zoot, arrives on Dejima, home to cunning merchants, cunning interpreters, and expensive courtesans. In five years he must earn a fortune enough to ask for the hand of his beloved left in Rotterdam - but on Dejima his attention is captured by the young Japanese midwife Orito and the sinister abbot of the distant mountain monastery Enomoto-sensei....
