A poor boy takes his first steps toward greatness.
Born into poverty, Hiyoshimaru survives hunger, loneliness, and conflict through quick thinking, courage, and an extraordinary ability to win people's trust. After leaving his home, he is taken into the service of Matsushita Kahei and enters the turbulent world of Japan's Warring States era.
He eventually encounters the young Oda Nobunaga—dismissed by many as a reckless fool, yet already looking beyond the conventions of his age. When the paths of the nameless boy and the solitary young warlord cross, a story destined to transform Japan begins.
Eiji Yoshikawa's Shinsho Taikoki—The New Chronicle of Hideyoshi—is an epic historical novel portraying the rise of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and the ambitions, loyalties, and humanity of the warriors around him.

貧しき少年は、やがて天下人となる――。
貧しい百姓の子として生まれた日吉丸は、飢えと孤独のなかで、並外れた機転、胆力、そして人の心をつかむ力を育てていく。母お仲や養父との葛藤を経て故郷を離れた少年は、松下加兵衛に見出され、戦国の世へ踏み出していく。
やがて彼の前に現れるのは、尾張の「うつけ」と呼ばれる若き織田信長。粗野に見えて時代の先を見通す信長と、名もなき少年・日吉丸。二人の運命が出会うとき、天下を揺るがす物語が動き始める。
吉川英治が、豊臣秀吉の生涯と戦国武将たちの人間像を壮大に描いた歴史小説『新書太閤記』。第一巻「貧しき少年、天下へ走る」では、日吉丸の少年時代から奉公、信長との出会い、孤独な若君を支える老臣・平手政秀の苦悩までを収録する。
