Le Clan des Otori (Tome 5) - Le Fil du destin

Tales of the Otori #0

by Lian Hearn, Philippe Giraudon (Translator)

Voici l'enfance des Otori. L'histoire commence lorsque le jeune Shigeru s'apprête à devenir l'héritier du clan. Formé à l'art de la guerre et de la dissimulation, le jeune sire doit faire face aux appétits de conquêtes de l'ambitieux Iida, et aux traîtrises de ses propres oncles. À la bataille de Yaegahara, son destin semble scellé : son père meurt et ses oncles prennent le pouvoir. Mais, préparant dans le secret sa revanche, Shigeru attend son heure...

Le cycle du Clan des Otori révèle un Japon féodal redoutable que Lian Hearn fair revivre avec une force évocatrice incomparable. Il trouve son accomplissement avec Le Fil du destin.
