Summary: From back of book
Comment: 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.

Summary: Life Changing.
Comment: I first read this story about 12 or 13 years ago when I was entering my teens. Corgi originally released the first book in the series here in the UK at about that same time, and it took over a year for the series to be completed. However the story itself was written in 1935, first being printed in serialized form in one of Japans most famous newspapers, the Asahi Shimbun. The story is a very powerful one that keeps you within its grasp all the way throughout. As well as captivating your mind it captures your heart and your soon so entranced within the story itself that you actually feel that your there, experiencing it with Musashi. Along with a well devised plot that doesn't drift too far from the truth, there's an educational side that goes with it, that teaches you in great detail about feudal Japan, its people and its places and it does this without ever leaving the story. You will finish this book with a good knowledge and understanding of japans history and all without the need for history books. The characters are so well detailed, you can actually picture them very clearly in your head. Its a story that is so well written, so detailed and so enthralling that you actually forget that your living here in the present. Yoshikawa tells the story in such a powerfully romantic way that it might actually make you stop and think about yourself. All in all this book is a must buy. Out of the many books that I have read, this story is not only the best, but it's a story that I will hold in my heart for eternity. You may find yourself never ever wanting to lose this story but most of all, you will be so grateful that you found it.
