Los lectores opinan...
Uno de esos libros que dejan huella en tu vida y a los que recurres cuando todo lo dem s falla.

Te hace recuperar el placer de las novelas de aventuras inolvidables.

Hay detalles en la trama llenos de elegancia y con una sutileza exquisita. Un libro excelente.

Te transporta a otra poca y otro mundo, no quieres que acabe nunca.

Precioso, conmovedor, con una prosa como hac a tiempo que no encontraba.

Desde que le Shogun, de Clavell, no hab a vuelto a encontrar un libro de samur is que me gustase.

Una historia conmovedora e intrigante que no puedes parar de leer. De las novelas que apetece recomendar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A story of revenge and redemption in Japan during times of the Samurai Lords. The Warrior Behind the Cherry Tree was finalist to the Fernando Lara Prize by Planeta Group and winner of the Hislibris Prize for a Historical Novel.
Japan, late 16th Century. The country leaves behind the Sengoku period and enters a faltering period of peace. Among the victims of the long conflict is Seizo Ikeda, the only survivor of the ruling clan of the Izumo province, and an orphan since he was nine years old when his clan was eradicated. Harassed by his family's murderers and sentenced to exile, he begins a long pilgrimage under the protection of Kenzaburo Arima, the last samurai alive from his father's army, and now his mentor.
On the other side of the country, Ekei Inafune, a doctor renounced for using the arts he learned among the savages from the West, was involved in a plot set in secret by the country's most powerful clans. A conspiracy capable of putting an end to the fragile period of peace that existed. A raw and beautiful novel, full of nuances, that travels through a Japan devastated by more than two centuries of war, among whose ashes the most beautiful cherry trees bloom.
