A Starter to Samurai Philosophy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
[[ASIN:B001DF7D9C The Samurai - The Philosophy Of Victory] In my opinion "The Samurai: The Philosophy of Victory" is an introductory book to the philosophies, fables, stories, and values of the Samurai. Snippets of literature and Samurai manuals make it interesting reading for the newcomer to the traditions of the Samurai. Colorful stories, lovely illustrations and the manner it was presented made me feel I was seated at the feet of a wise man relaying bits of stories. This book has accomplished the task for which I purchased it and will be added to my shelf.
Nice little book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is one of those typical Barnes and Noble books put together out of scraps of sayings and pictures. The sayings and little stories are brief and to the point - zen-like. The pictures are colorful and charming. The interpretations of the sayings seem suspect to me, but thankfully there are few of them. Mostly it is a book of extracts from A Book of Five Rings, Code of the Samurai, and Hagakure. The reason to buy it is because it is a neat little book with colorful illustrations.
