Inhaltsangabe

A new and unabridged 3-book translation of Eiji Yoshikawa's bestselling novel about Miyamoto Musashi--the most famous swordfighter in Japanese history!

This is the first book of Musashi: The Novel, a sweeping three-book unabridged translation of Eiji Yoshikawa's bestselling masterpiece--Japan's most beloved historical novel. Masterfully translated for the first time in its entirety by Alexander Bennett, this vivid and fast-paced story reveals the exploits and inner life of a man who finds not only his true purpose but also his humanity.

Book One opens in the year 1600 at the Battle of Sekigahara, a scene of unimaginable carnage where Musashi lies wounded on the battlefield. After being imprisoned for three years, he wanders the countryside aimlessly as a vagabond, desperate to make a name for himself. He becomes a dueling Ronin--a swordfighter without a master. And while his destiny seems clear, to achieve it he must leave his old life behind.
