A young knave called Takezo, Musashi’s given name, fights alongside his best friend Matahachi, and after the defeat he begins a solitary journey to undertake the Way of the Sword, that will lead him not only to a refinement of his fighting talent, but also to a deeper understanding of himself: to enlightenment. The book tells the story of the samurai Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645), the greatest Japanese warrior ever, starting from his first battle– that is the Battle of Sekigahara, in 1600 – up to the duel that made him famous in the whole world. In this wonderful, international classic novel, we can live the life of one of the greatest warrior of all times and also find our true self. There will be nothing but hardship, and it won’t get easier as it goes along. If you chose to bind your life to mine, you’d never be happy.
I want to spend every moment of every day working to improve myself. I want to dedicate myself to training and discipline. I stayed in that musty hole for three years. Additional info Author Eiji Yoshikawa Title Musashi Info Kodansha America, 2012 Additional info 984 pages - £30.00
