Heart of a Samurai is a great read for middle-class readers who think they dislike historical fiction. This is the story of a Japanese boy who is shipwrecked on an island in the South China Sea, rescued by an American whaling ship, trained as a harpooner, and then taken to the United States to be raised and trained as a master student under a ship's captain of elite Massachusetts . Schools. It is based on the story of Manjiro, the first Japanese to set foot in North America, who returned to Japan as an adult and helped end Japanese isolationism. The story is full of adventure, but also realistically depicts the racist attitudes and harsh working conditions of 19th-century workers. Descriptions of whaling are so realistic that it makes your stomach churn.
