Summary

Este es el volumen de referencia sobre el bushido («el camino del guerrero»), el muy citado –y ampliamente malinterpretado– código de honor samurái. Basándose en textos históricos auténticos, Antony Cummins nos guía en una fascinante y detallada inmersión en el Japón medieval y la vida de los samuráis. El libro del budhido desmantela mitos e idealizaciones para mostrarnos la verdad del código de caballería samurái. Reemplaza la imagen del infalible guerrero oriental con una realidad mucho más interesante: líderes militares curtidos, manchados de sangre, con fallas humanas y un complejo conjunto de ideas sobre el mundo que implicaban rituales y magia, tanto en la guerra como en la paz. Esta es la historia, en definitiva, del bushido, el camino del samurái.

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 buddhi 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 and bloodstained military leaders and a complex set of ideas about the world.
