At The Emperor's Wish: A Tale Of The New Japan is a novel written by Oscar King Davis and published in 1905. The story is set in Japan during the Meiji Restoration, a time of great change and modernization in the country. The protagonist is a young American named Jack Hemingway who travels to Japan to work as a journalist. He quickly becomes fascinated by the culture and people of Japan, and finds himself drawn into the political and social upheaval of the time. Jack becomes involved in a plot to overthrow the government, and must navigate dangerous political waters while also falling in love with a Japanese woman. The novel explores themes of cultural differences, modernization, and the clash between tradition and progress. It provides a vivid and detailed portrait of Japan during a pivotal moment in its history, and offers a compelling story of love, adventure, and political intrigue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
