The Forty-Seven Ronins is a historical novel written by A. B. Mitford that tells the story of a group of samurais who seek revenge for their master's wrongful death. The book is set in 18th century Japan during the Edo period and is based on a true story. The plot revolves around Lord Asano, who is provoked by a court official and is forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide). His samurais, led by Oishi, vow to avenge their master's death and plan for two years to carry out their plan. The novel explores the themes of loyalty, honor, and revenge, and provides a glimpse into the samurai culture of feudal Japan. With vivid descriptions of the characters, settings, and action, The Forty-Seven Ronins is a captivating read for anyone interested in Japanese history and culture.Meanwhile, Oishi had separated from his wife and two younger children, and had taken up his residence in Kyoto. He and his confederates broke up their households and sold their effects, a proceeding which made no small stir in Kyoto and Fushimi at the time. Intelligence of the incident was conveyed to Kira, and he thereupon redoubled his precautions. It was presently rumoured that some of the Ako-ronin had been seized at the various barriers, and some of those in Kyoto urged Oishi to postpone the journey to Yedo till next spring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
