The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet

Am de jimad was created in nagasaki bay in the seventeenth century. The only people that were allowed go anywhere near japan were chinese, korean and dutch. It's realy called, there's an amazing book, a david mitchelbruck set on degime. And i think they succeeded there ecause they're so used to living on basically artificial reclaimed land. About 60 % of the land in the netherlands is just there because they've drained away the water and they've built it up. Most of the population lives on land that shouldn't naturally be there.
