The classic samurai novel about the real exploits of the most famous swordsman. Miyamoto Musashi was the child of an era when Japan was emerging from decades of civil strife. Lured to the great Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 by the hope of becoming a samurai-without really knowing what it meant-he regains consciousness after the battle to find himself lying defeated, dazed and wounded among thousands of the dead and dying. On his way home, he commits a rash act, becomes a fugitive and brings life in his own village to a standstill-until he is captured by a weaponless Zen monk. The lovely Otsu, seeing in Musashi her ideal of manliness, frees him from his tortuous punishment, but he is recaptured and imprisoned. During three years of solitary confinement, he delves into the classics of Japan and China. When he is set free again, he rejects the position of samurai and for the next several years pursues his goal relentlessly, looking neither to left nor to right. Ever so slowly it dawns on him that following the Way of the Sword is not simply a matter of finding a target for his brute strength. Continually striving to perfect his technique, which leads him to a unique style of fighting with two swords simultaneously, he travels far and wide, challenging fighters of many disciplines, taking nature to be his ultimate and severest teacher and undergoing the rigorous training of those who follow the Way. He is supremely successful in his encounters, but in the Art of War he perceives the way of peaceful and prosperous governance and disciplines himself to be a real human being. He becomes a reluctant hero to a host of people whose lives he has touched and been touched by. And, inevitably, he has to pit his skill against the naked blade of his greatest rival. Musashi is a novel in the best tradition of Japanese story telling. It is a living story, subtle and imaginative, teeming with memorable characters, many of them historical. Interweaving themes of unrequited love, misguided revenge, filial piety and absolute dedication to the Way of the Samurai, it depicts vividly a world Westerners know only vaguely. Full of gusto and humor, it has an epic quality and universal appeal. The novel was made into a three-part movie by Director Hiroshi Inagai.… (lisätietoja)

Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa was to me at best mid...while this overall story was good, it was , in my opinion way too long. My gosh the author could have condensed much of the book and still gotten the story across. I will say this, it did give you intimate understandings of the people in the stories due to the extreme detail of the book. One more complaint that I would have is the ending. After getting through all the labors of the book and making it to the ending, one would think/hope that the crescendo of the story would meet expectations of the build up the author makes. Without giving anything away, I was not really that happy with it...a two and a half star review, I would not recommend this to anyone unless they have a driving passion for Japanese history or the martial arts/samurai/swordsmanship. I guess this was just not cup of tea. ( )

I had wanted to read this book for a long time, since I love japanese culture and its history. I finally got around to it after reading the ongoing and awesome "Vagabond" manga from Takehijo Inoue, that's based in this novel (although changing a lot of elements, most of them for the better).

It's hard for me to review this without comparing it to the movies or the manga, but I gave it 5 stars anyway because I think it's a great achievement as a novel. Even though it was published in the 1910s, it reads very well (the english translation must help with the style) and it maintains a good pace throughout the novel, even though Musashi disappears for several chapters and the story follows other secondary characters for a while.

You have to read it not only as the story of one man, but of a period of time and its people. It's a choral novel in that sense, since it features several viewpoints and deals with complex and mature subject matter. But the book wouldn't work without the shadow of Musashi being cast over all the other characters. And what the author does masterfully is show the progression of Musashi, from a violent young man to a master of the way, of zen as much as of the sword. And the rest of the characters meet their karmic ends, as should be in a story.

It is eminently readable and approachable, even for those that are not experts in japanese history, though liking it helps a lot. ( )

Serialization is underrated. Yoshikawa makes it work to his advantage with stories that interleave like both a play and epic. ( )

The story of the making of a samurai in the 17th century. Originally published in Japan as a serial and reminds me of Nikolas Nickelby by Dickens with a touch of Great Expectations. Having been written by and for the Japanese, this book depicts a more realistic culture as opposed to Shogun.

That's what's extraordinary about him. He's not content with relying on whatever natural gifts he may have. Knowing he's ordinary, he's always trying to improve himself. No one appreciates the agonizing effort he's had to make. Now that his years of training have yielded such spectacular results, everybody's talking about his 'god-given talent.' That's how men who don't try very hard comfort themselves.
