Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Way of the Samurai is an accessible, enthralling text about a magical chapter in human history; a time when chivalry and courage were paramount. The chapter on hara-kiri or suicide communicates the overriding importance of honour to the Japanese warrior class: it was far more preferable to die an honourable death than to accept defeat or a dishonourable compromise. Drawing on Japanese traditions such as Shinto and Buddhism, and citing parallels with Western philosophy and literature, Nitobe's text is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the culture and morals of Japan.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Inazo Nitobe (1862 1933) was scholar and an educator. After studying at John Hopkins University he maintained his links with the US and tried through his academic career to become a bridge across the Pacific . He wrote Bushido: The Soul of Japan, published here as The Way of the Samurai, in 1899 and the book established his reputation in the West.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Justice, courage, loyalty, self control: the qualities essential to the Samurai warriors of Japan are those that we all aspire to. In this classic work, 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 chilling self sacrifice: hara-kiri or suicide. Nitobe's engaging text conjures up a world of chivalric principles and brutal warfare - a fading world, but one that has resonance in modern Japanese society and around the world.This beautifully illustrated edition contains an introduction by John Baldock, and authentic Japanese images throughout.
