Myamoto Musashi wrote "The Book of Five Rings", which is about swordsmanship and dueling with the Japanese folded katana. Today most readers of that book use it as a merciless method for doing business, but I always have appreciated it's insights into the mind of Myamoto Musashi and his style of swordplay. The book I am reviewing here is however the semi fictional novel "Musashi" which started in Japan as a long running newspaper serial between 1935 and 1939. The English hardcover version is 950 pages long and although I just began reading it, I find it interesting enough to not put it down to the point where I am now quickly on page 246 already. Japan has only produced one Musashi, as although it has to date produced countless great swordsmen, none survived over 80 duels undefeated except for Musashi himself. If you study fencing and swordsmanship or only enjoy tales of the old days in feudal Japan, I think that you would enjoy reading "Musashi" too.Read full review

Great book 970 pages but easy to follow, I had difficulty putting it down. This is one of those works of fiction that is applicable to your own life in the sense that the lessons transcend time periods.
