Clouds above the Hill is one of the best-selling novels ever in Japan, and is now translated into English for the first time. An epic portrait of Japan in crisis, it combines graphic military history and highly readable fiction to depict an aspiring nation modernizing at breakneck speed.

Having driven off the Royal Naruyan Army, Erhin brings his troops and people with him as he sets up a new base of operations in the Bertaquin Domain of the former Brijit Kingdom. As he takes this first step towards declaring independence, he turns his eyes toward the vast sea around Brijit. Erhin hopes to build a fleet and establish maritime trade, but the neighboring Luaranz Kingdom has him massively outgunned at sea—and if history goes like it did in the game, then a coup d’état is about to turn them into a military dictatorship. What will happen when Erhin tries to stop it?
Yone Noguchi, the first writer of Japanese ancestry to publish books of English poetry and fiction, was also a ground-breaking essayist who introduced international readers to many Japan-related subjects. His earliest essays, published from 1903 to 1906, are collected for the first time in this volume.
Erhin has succeeded in saving Euracia and her people from the war with the Brijit Kingdom. Having won a secret iron mine for himself in the process, he begins making his move toward world domination in earnest. Meanwhile, Frann Valdesca, the Naruyan commander he defeated during the previous invasion, is preparing for a revenge match in the form of the Grand Subjugation. With his prior knowledge of the event, Erhin comes up with a clever plan to take over Runan in the chaos. Will it work, or will Erhin’s efforts go up in flames?!
Ryuichi Hasegawa, the top player in a strategic medieval RPG, is granted a special “bonus” by the developer and reincarnated into the game world—not as the protagonist, but as the villainous lord Erhin Eintorian who dies in the prologue! This means Erhin’s survival is a race against time, for his domain is set to be invaded by a hostile foreign power in just one day. In order to save himself, Erhin must use the leveling system that only he can access and his knowledge of the game to prepare his forces. The only hitch, of course, is that there’s no way a villainous lord left a functioning military at his disposal! Can Erhin forestall the tragic fate scripted for him, or is he doomed to play out his own demise?
Featuring the real-life experiences of contemporary African women who tell of atrocities, pain, motherhood, marriage, love, and courage in their daily life, this gripping collection brings greater awareness to a continuing struggle. Denied a voice by their own culture for centuries, these women speak out for the first time, sharing poignant tales of abuse and womanhood robbed, revealing their methods of survival, and divulging their dreams for themselves and their children. A girl describes hiding under a blanket from the Lord's Resistance Army in search of child brides; a woman speaks of her family abuse and rejection followed by the deaths of her child and partner only to learn later that the father of her child was already married with eight children and had AIDS. Dramatic, sometimes heartbreaking, often inspiring, this is the first book to truly show what it means to be a 21st-century African woman.
