Über diesen Titel
A classic of Japanese history, this audiobook is the preeminent work on the history of Japan. Newly revised and updated, A History of Japan is a single-volume complete history of the nation of Japan. Starting in ancient Japan during its early pre-history period, A History of Japan covers every important aspect of history and culture through feudal Japan to the post-Cold War period and collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. Recent findings shed additional light on the origins of Japanese civilization and the birth of Japanese culture.
Also included is an in-depth analysis of the Japanese religion, Japanese arts, Japanese culture, and the Japanese people from the sixth century BC to the present. This contemporary classic, now updated and revised, continues to be an essential work in Japanese studies.
A History of Japan, Revised Edition includes:
- Archaic Japan - including Yamato, the creation of a unified state, the Nana Period, and the Heian period.
- Medieval Japan - including rule by the military houses, the failure of Ashikaga rule, Buddhism, and the Kamakura and Muroachi periods.
- Early modern Japan - including Japanese feudalism, administration under the Tokugawa, and society and culture in early modern Japan.
- Modern Japan - including the Meiji era and policies for modernization, from consensus to crisis (1912-1937), and solutions through force.
This contemporary classic continues to be a central work in Japanese studies and is a vital addition to the collection of any student or enthusiast of Japanese history, Japanese culture, or the Japanese language.

Outdated and lack of audience attraction
The book is too dry as an audiobook. The writing is just too academic and reads more like a scientific paper than a story telling. Sentences are hard to understand. It lost my attention after a short while. I recommend the book from „the great course“.

Bad
In this book you will hear a lot about classical poems and modern socialist parties. The rest is ridiculously superficial.
You will hear hardly anything about famous Samurai, important battles, absolutely nothing about Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, the Shinsengumi, etc. No mentioning of sword-smithing. No mentioning of Shinobi (Ninja). No mentioning of Japanese Christian martyrs like Shimabara Shiro or Takayama Ukon. A man like Saigo Takamori will be mentioned in only 2 short side-phrases and will be judged with a ridiculous bias with no explanation of his intentions. You will not learn anything about Pearl Harbour or the battle of Midway. The Yamato and Yamamoto Isoroku are not even mentioned. Not a single word about Kamikaze-Pilots. No Mitsubishi Zero. The Zaibatsu are hardly covered. And due to the book's age nothing about Fukushima. You will not learn anything about Japanese cuisine either. You will not learn how the Japanese lived during Kamakura or Edo era and you will barely hear anything about modern culture, like manga and karaoke.
Besides this... Why produce an audiobook about Japan, with such a heavy emphasis on poetry and not hire a narrator who knows at least the basic pronunciation of Japanese!? I can of course overlook the horrible pronunciation of a single Portuguese sentence in the book but the Japanese mispronouncing was just too much to bear.
I love history books. Not this one.
