From back of book,
By
This review is from: Way of the Samurai (Paperback)
From back of book:150 years of strife have left Japan a war-torn wasteland. Out of the ashes, a new hero is born- destined to be the greatest swordsman of all time... Musashi. In 1605 the war between eastern and western Japan ended on the bloody battlefield of Sekigahara. The new Shogunate struggled to establish its power, and leaderless samurai roamed the country, But from the great martial arts temples to the royal castles of Osaka and Kyoto came word of a single swordsman challenging the heroes of the day. His name: Musashi, left for dead on the plain of Sekigahara, reborn under the guidance of a mysterious Buddhist monk, following The Way of the Sword and the Way of Truth. Beloved by women, acclaimed by men, Musashi's enemies die at his hands. In the greatest epic of the Orient, this is the authentic story of a warrior's quest for the ultimate honor- and the unforgettable saga of a glorious age.

Probably the best book I have ever read.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Way of the Samurai (Paperback)
This book is not only the greatest book I have ever read, but also probably one of the greatest books ever written. Eiji Yoshikawa follows the life of the brash young Takezo up to his transformation into Shimmen Miyamoto Musashi perfectly. I reccomend this to anyone looking for an enthralling tale that also shows gret insight into the life and culture of feudal Japan.
