Hardback. Condizione: Good. Based on real events, the moving story of a man lost between two cultures. Orphaned at the age of thirteen, Hikotaro resigns himself to a life at sea. But when the merchant vessel he sails on is caught in a violent storm, he is taken to San Francisco by American rescuers. Made an outcast by the shogunate policy forbidding reentry to Japanese who have been abroad, Hikotaro accepts his new country with trepidation and hope. Still, he dreams of returning to his native land. Yet when he finally does, he realizes that there is now no place he can call home.

One Man's Justice is a provocative exploration of the effects of war on the human soul.--San Jose Mercury News Gripping, remarkable. . . . A deft, accurate writer, Yoshimura captures a man in limbo with unnerving insight and definition.--The Christian Science Monitor Akira Yoshimura is the prizewinning author of twenty novels and short-story collections, many of them bestsellers in Japan.
