The Book Of Five Rings

The BOOK OF FIVE RINGS is a legendary Japanese text written in the 17th century by an undefeated samurai, Miyamoto Musashi. Like THE ART OF WAR, it contains a timeless philosophy that has been interpreted over many centuries and applied to many contexts (violent or not) that require strength, fortitude, and focus. This particular translation by Thomas Cleary offers a biography of the samurai Musashi and paints a fascinating portrait of the man. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
