About this listen

Now tell us - did you ever like Japan? Do you know anything about its history, or just what you learned from television and anime, in general? That's a good starting point, anyway. If you want to delve deeper into Japanese history, in chronological order, and see the main events that transformed Japan into what it is today, you've just hit the jackpot.

What will you learn from this book? Among others:

  • The main stages in Japanese history, from the most ancient, the Jomon period to Imperial Japan. Each of them will be explained so that everybody can understand them, without technical terms that harden the absorption of information.
  • Japan during the Middle Ages
  • Everything about shoguns, shogunates and all other forms of governance
  • The situation in Japan during World War II and after that
  • The most important battles between Japan and the United States of America
  • The fall of the Empire of Japan
  • Japanese politics
  • The catastrophic Japanese deflation that ruined the economy for decades on end
  • Japanese culture and what makes it so unique in the world
  • Valuable information on anime and manga as distinct avatars of Japanese culture
  • Tourism in Japan and why it is so important for the economic growth of the state

This book is for you, no matter if you are a student or a professor, or you just want to learn more about Japanese culture and history.
