Narration In Pursuance Of Books Jembatan Musim Gugur (Samurai #2)
Mengetahui masa depan dan mengetahui masa lampau adalah dua hal yang bermakna sama. Apa bedanya mengetahui hal yang tak terelakkan dengan mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi? Aki-no-Hashi (1311) Sesosok wanita hadir, mengiris keheningan menara tertinggi Kastel Awan Burung Gereja. Kecantikannya memukau, kelembutannya menghanyutkan, dan keanggunannya menebarkan pesona. Tetapi, kemunculannya selalu berselubung misteri. Benarkah dia Lady Shizuka, sang putri sihir dari masa lampau? Benarkah dia penentu sejarah klan Okumichi? Dan mengapa dia juga muncul di hadapan Emily Gibson, wanita asing yang bukan keturunannya? Samurai: Jembatan Musim Gugur menguak kelanjutan kisah hidup Genji Okumichi, sang Daimyo Akaoka dalam Samurai: Kastel Awan Burung Gereja. Kisah ini pun menyibak kekuatan cinta yang mampu menjungkirbalikkan dunia, perpaduan kekuatan ragawi dan kehalusan pekerti, dan mengedepankan ketulusan sejati dalam menyikapi takdir, meskipun akhir hidup sudah di depan mata.Rating Based On Books Jembatan Musim Gugur (Samurai #2)

As expected, I read this as a follow up to "Cloud of Sparrows", which I enjoyed very much. As a big fan of the first novel, I was eager to get into this one and learn more about the history of the Okumichi clan and the mysterious Lady Shizuka. It certainly delivered in both categories. However, "Autumn Bridge" lacks the drive that "Cloud of Sparrows" had. The latter had a great deal of action and thus a faster pace. I devoured it rather quickly. The former did not possess this. Instead, it optedThe overthrow of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Restoration of the Emperor, the abolition of the samurai class, the dissolution of the domains, the unprecedented intrusion of foreigners into Japan, the destruction of the last heroic proponents of bushido--all these events had occurred in the span of less than ten years. The radical late XIX century changes in Japan society offer a rich filon of inspiration for the epic canvas of Takashi Matsuoka. This second 'Samurai' book is more of a companion

Several years ago I 've read the first volume, cloud of sparrows, and fell in love. Now, finishing Autumn Bridge I found myself falling in love again. Very resourceful storytelling, and a wonderful journey going back and forth in time.
Once again Matsuoka amazed me. I'm eagerly awaiting his next book, because I simply loved both of his books (this one and Cloud of Sparrows).
3 stars because of the change in comprehension between this sequel and the first, Cloud of Sparrows.Cloud of Sparrows hints at prophecy and metaphysical abilities, but it's by and large a novel of the closing of feudal Japan, and focuses more on Japanese lifestyle during that time rather than some fictious adventure.Autumn Bridge, though, is a fiction story. And by this I mean it rather abandons the more encompassing study of Japan to focus on the prophetic-bloodline of the Okumichi clan.It
A mirror in ancient Japan where you start reading and suddenly you are surrounded by samurai, geisha, beautiful ladies and charming lords. Matsuoka has the incredible power to make his stories incredibly real, while you read youre there. You feel their pain, you live their anguish, their passion and on every page, it takes you out of reality!Id read some reviews about this book, and what emerges is a difficulty in following a logical thread, due to his jumping back and forth in time.
