El libro del Bushido

la guía completa de la verdadera caballería samurái

Cummins, Antony

This is the reference volume on bushido ("the way of the warrior"), the much-quoted -and widely misunderstood- samurai code of honor. Drawing on authentic historical texts, Antony Cummins leads us on a fascinating and detailed immersion into medieval Japan and the life of the samurai. The bushido book dismantles myths and idealizations to show us the truth of the samurai chivalry code. He replaces the image of the infallible Eastern warrior with a far more interesting reality: weathered, bloodstained, human-failing military leaders and a complex set of ideas about the world that involved ritual and magic, both in war and peace. This is the story, ultimately, of bushido, the way of the samurai.
