The Way of the Warrior Deluxe 3 Volume Box Set Edition (The Art of War, The Way of the Samurai, The Book of Five Rings) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This deluxe boxset contains three classic texts from China and Japan, The Art of War, The Book of Five Rings and The Way of the Samurai, presented in beautiful silkbound volumes inside a decorative slipcase.
The Art of War, written by ancient Chinese general Sun Tzu in the 6th century bc, is the most widely published work on warfare and military strategy and was consulted by Napoleon and Mao Zedong among others.
The Book of Five Rings dates from the mid-17th century and was conceived by a Japanese swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. Though it covers swordsmanship and the martial arts, the text's discussion of how to deal with conflict has been used more widely than its author originally intended.
In The Way of the Samurai, originally published as Bushido, the Soul of Japan, Inazo Nitobe explores the moral code of the Japanese warrior class, from the importance of politeness rituals to the ultimate self-sacrifice in war: hara-kiri or suicide.
