Answer 1

Shōgun is a 1975 novel by James Clavell. It is the first novel (chronologically speaking) in the author's Asian Saga. It is set in feudal Japan in the year 1600 some months before the critical battle of Sekigahara, and gives an account of the rise of the daimyo "Toranaga" (analogous to the real-life Tokugawa Ieyasu) to the Shogunate, seen through the eyes of an English sailor whose fictional heroics are loosely based on William Adams' exploits.

Answer 2

Growing Up in Slavery: Stories of Young Slaves as Told By Themselves by Yuval Taylor (Editor)
