Paperback. Zustand: New. Written over the course of 1904-6, Soseki's comic masterpiece, I Am a Cat, satirizes the follies of upper-middle-class Japanese society during the Mei ji era. With acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, it follows the whimsical adventures of a world-weary stray kitten who comments on the follies and f oibles of the people around him. The New Yorker called it "a nonchalant str ing of anecdotes and wisecracks, told by a fellow who doesn't have a name, and has never caught a mouse, and isn't much good for anything except watch ing human beings in action.".

Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) is the most famous Samurai who ever lived. His magnum opus, the Go-Rin-Sho or Book of Five Rings is a classic that is sti ll read by tens of thousands of people each year--Japanese and foreigners a like. Alex Bennett's groundbreaking new translation of The Book of Five Rings rev eals the true meaning of this text for the first time. Like Sun Tzu's The A rt of War, Musashi's book offers unique insights, not just for warriors, bu t for anyone wanting to apply the Zen Buddhist principle of awareness to ac hieve success in their endeavors. This book sheds new light on Japanese his tory and on the philosophical meaning of Bushido--the ancient "code of the Japanese warrior." Unlike other translations that are based on incomplete and inaccurate versi ons of Musashi's work, Bennett's is the first to be based on a careful reco nstruction of the long-lost original manuscript. Capturing the subtle nuanc es of the original Japanese classic, the result is a far more accurate and meaningful English version of The Book of Five Rings text. Richly annotated and with an extensive introduction to Musashi's life, this version includes a collection of his other writings--translated into Engli sh for the first time. A respected scholar, as well as a skilled martial ar tist, Bennett's understanding of Musashi's life and work is unparalleled. This book will be widely read by students of Japanese culture, history. military strategy, and martial arts. It sets a new standard against which all other translations will be measured.
