In 1853, few Japanese people knew that a country called

America even existed.

For centuries, Japan had isolated itself from the outside

world by refusing to trade with other countries and even refusing

to help shipwrecked sailors, foreign or Japanese. The country's

people still lived under a feudal system like that of Europe in the

Middle Ages. But everything began to change when American Commodore

Perry and his troops sailed to the Land of the Rising Sun, bringing

with them new science and technology, and a new way of life.

　　Rhoda Blumberg has written about the opening of Japan

(1853-1854) in Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun, a Newbery

Honor Book, which also won the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award and the

Golden Kite Award. Her acclaimed histories also include The

Incredible Journey of Lewis & Clark, The Great American Gold

Rush, and The Remarkable Voyages of Captain Cook, all ALA Notable

Guild Award for her overall contribution to nonfiction.

　　Rhoda Blumberg says that while doing research for Commodore

Perry, "I read about the ordeals and strange adventures of Manjiro,

then spent years replaying his life story in my mind until I felt

impelled to write about him."

　　The author and her husband, Gerald, live in Yorktown Heights, New

York.

　　Blumberg's book succeeds on two levels. First it is a

well-written story of Matthew Perry's expedition to open Japan to

American trade and whaling ports. The account is sensitive to the

extreme cultural differences that both the Japanese and Americans

had to overcome. Especially good are the chapters and paragraphs

explaining Japanese feudal society and culture. The text is

marvelously complemented by the illustrations, almost all

reproductions of contemporary Japanese art, underscoring the

unbiased approach of the book. On the second level, the book is a

well-researched chronicle of the events of the trip. Blumberg has

gone to the original sources to capture the sights, emotions,

reactions and even tastes of both the Japanese and Americans. Yet

she has not neglected the political and economic importance or

mission of Perry's trip. The notes, appendixes and bibliography

show a carefully thought out book which holds valuable information

for sophisticated readers. There is no better book for students on

this historical event.

媒体评论

* Among other awards, Commodore Perry won a Newbery Honor in

1986. * This paperback is being released with the paperback edition

of Blumberg’s successful Shipwrecked! The True Adventures of a

Japanese Boy, the companion book to Commodore Perry. * Blumberg

offers a unique approach to teaching American history by showing

both sides of every story. * SLJ said of Commodore Perry in the

Land of the Shogun, “There is no better book for students on this

historical event.”
