The classic samurai novel about the real exploits of the most famous swordsman

Miyamoto Musashi was the child of an era when Japan was emerging from decades of civil strife. Lured to the great Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 by the hope of becoming a samuraiâ??without really knowing what it meantâ??he regains consciousness after the battle to find himself lying defeated, dazed, and wounded among thousands of the dead and dying. On his way home, he commits a rash act, becomes a fugitive, and brings life in his own village to a standstillâ??until he is captured by a weaponless Zen monk.

The lovely Otsū, seeing in Musashi her ideal of manliness, frees him from his tortuous punishment, but he is recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he delves into the classics of Japan and China. When he is set free again, he rejects the position of samurai and for the next several years pursues his goal relentlessly, looking neither to left nor to right.

Ever so slowly it dawns on him that following the Way of the Sword is not simply a matter of finding a target for his brute strength. Continually striving to perfect his technique, which leads him to a unique style of fighting with two swords simultaneously, he travels far and wide, challenging fighters of many disciplines, taking nature to be his ultimate and severest teacher and undergoing the rigorous training of those who follow the Way. He is supremely successful in his encounters, but in the Art of War he perceives the way of peaceful and prosperous governance and disciplines himself to be a real human being.

He becomes a reluctant hero to a host of people whose lives he has touched and been touched by. And, inevitably, he has to pit his skill against the naked blade of his greatest rival.

Musashi is a novel in the best tradition of Japanese storytelling. It is a living story, subtle and imaginative, teeming with memorable characters, many of them historical. Interweaving themes of unrequited love, misguided revenge, filial piety, and absolute dedication to the Way of the Samurai, it depicts vividly a world Westerners know only vaguely. Full of gusto and humor, it has an epic quality and universal a… (més)

Samurajen Miyamoto Musashi levde i Japan på 1600-talet och blev redan då beryktad som den oövervinnerlige krigaren. Han utkämpade över 60 dueller utan att förlora en enda.

Dagarna innan han dog skrev Musashi ned sina insikter i krigskonsten. Fem ringars bok blev genast en klassiker - inte bara för utövare av kampkonsterna. Även till exempel politiker och affärsmän har studerat boken med stort utbyte, likaså de som är intresserade av österländsk filosofi.

I have read this entire series many times. I still don’t really think I understand it, but it is compelling high adventure. ( )

Miyamoto Musashi (cerca de 1584 d.C.- 1645) foi um guerreiro espadachim, pintor, autor de "O Livro dos Cinco Anéis". Muito apropriadamente, a história de "Musashi" começa logo após o desfecho da batalha de Sekigahara, num cenário de desolação e morte, com um diálogo entre os fracassados Shinmen Takezo (posteriormente Musashi) e seu amigo Hon'iden Matahachi.

Em "Musashi" é narrada a história desse guerreiro, que busca se aperfeiçoar não só na arte da espada, mas também espiritualmente. Originalmente publicada em vários episódios em jornal japonês, a narrativa consiste em diversas situações vividas por Musashi em seu caminho de aperfeiçoamento.

Em certos aspectos, a história chega a se assemelhar a uma telenovela: muitos são os personagens (que nem sempre são bem desenvolvidos pelo autor) e encontros e desencontros são constantes. Às vezes às pessoas conhecidas se separam, perdem-se umas das outras e, depois de algum tempo, encontram-se em situações inusitadas, para posteriormente se desencontrarem de novo. Paixão, amor, relacionamentos afetivos desfeitos, relacionamentos afetivos iniciados, são temas que também integram a trama.

O livro é muito interessante, entre outras razões, pelas curiosidades que contém sobre o Japão feudal. É estimulante ler sobre xoguns, samurais, ronins, imperadores, bem como sobre seus conflitos. Figuras reais e suas circunstâncias são constantemente citadas, seja ao longo do texto, seja em curtas notas de rodapé que em nada atrapalham a leitura. Diga-se de passagem, como afirmado na introdução a esta edição, "Musashi" é para o Japão (e para quem quer compreendê-lo) o que "E o vento levou" é para os Estados Unidos.

Para quem gosta de ler sobre o Japão, samurais, ou aprecia uma típica aventura de espada, Musashi é muito recomendado. ( )
