The book by Japanese studies scholar and writer Alexander Meshcheryakov (born 1951) represents the most comprehensive description in Russian historiography of the reign of Emperor Meiji (1852-1912), during which Japan reached its peak. The author shows how Japan became a powerful state, open to trade and communication, and how during this time the Japanese nation and unified Japanese culture were formed. Meshcheryakov chose a "chronicle" style of storytelling: each chapter tells about one year in the life of Meiji and the entire country. The text is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to the "shadow" period, when the future emperor was a child and Japan was a closed country, and the second to the "light" period, when a new state and society were dramatically emerging. The research is supplemented with an extensive bibliography and illustrative material. The book combines scholarly depth with the excitement of an adventure novel. The publication is aimed at all those interested in the history and culture of Japan. 3rd edition, corrected.
