THE COMPLETE MUSASHI: THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS AND OTHER WORKS
Book ID/图书代码： 02911018C00428
English Summary/英文概要： Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645) is the most famous Samurai who ever lived. His magnum opus, the Go-Rin-Sho or Book of Five Rings is a classic that is still read by tens of thousands of people each year—Japanese and foreigners alike.
Alex Bennett’s groundbreaking new translation of The Book of Five Rings reveals the true meaning of this text for the first time. Like Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, Musashi’s book offers unique insights, not just for warriors, but for anyone wanting to apply the Zen Buddhist principle of awareness to achieve success in their endeavors. This book sheds new light on Japanese history and on the philosophical meaning of Bushido—the ancient "code of the Japanese warrior."
Unlike other translations that are based on incomplete and inaccurate versions of Musashi’s work, Bennett’s is the first to be based on a careful reconstruction of the long-lost original manuscript. Capturing the subtle nuances of the original Japanese classic, the result is a far more accurate and meaningful English version of The Book of Five Rings text.
Richly annotated and with an extensive introduction to Musashi’s life, this version includes a collection of his other writings—translated into English for the first time. A respected scholar, as well as a skilled martial artist, Bennett’s understanding of Musashi’s life and work is unparalleled.
This book will be widely read by students of Japanese culture, history. military strategy, and martial arts. It sets a new standard against which all other translations will be measured.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 宫本武藏(1584-1645)是世界上最著名的武士。他的代表作《五环经》至今仍被成千上万的日本人和外国人阅读。
亚历克斯•贝内特对《五环经》进行了开创性的新翻译，首次揭示了这本书的真正含义。就像孙子的《孙子兵法》一样，武藏的书提供了独特的见解，不仅对战士，而且对任何想要应用禅宗的觉悟原则来获得成功的人来说都是如此。这本书揭示了日本历史和武士道的哲学意义——古代“日本武士法典”。
与其他基于武藏作品不完整和不准确版本的翻译不同，贝内特的翻译是第一次基于对长期丢失的原稿的仔细重建。捕捉到原始日本经典的细微差别，结果是一个更准确和有意义的英语版本的书五环文本。
这个版本有丰富的注释和对武藏生平的广泛介绍，包括他的其他作品的合集——第一次翻译成汉语。作为一名受人尊敬的学者，同时也是一名技艺高超的武术家，贝内特对武藏生活和工作的理解是无与伦比的精确。
这本书将被日本文化、历史专业的学生广泛阅读。充满了军事战略和武术。它设定了一个新的标准，以此来衡量所有其他版本的翻译。（WYL）
