Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The culmination of 25 years of research, Alex Bennett's groundbreaking English translation of Miyamoto Musashi's The Book of Five Rings reveals the true meaning of the original work.This piece of writing by famed samurai Musashi (1584-1645) is the single-most influential work on samurai swordsmanship, offering insights into samurai history, the Zen Buddhist state of 'no-mind' that enables warriors to triumph and the philosophical meaning of Bushido'the way of the warrior.'Until now, English translations of The Book of Five Rings have been based on inaccurate copies of Musashi's long-lost original manuscript.

Utilizing this new source, Bennett captures the subtle nuance of the classic Japanese text, resulting in the most accurate English translation of The Book of Five Rings available.This book also includes translations of five other known works by Musashithree of them translated for the first time. The texts are richly annotated by Bennett, who includes an extensive introduction on Musashi's life and legacy.
