SAMURAI: THE TRUE STORY OF THE LAST WARRIOR
Book ID/图书代码： 13160010B42519
English Summary/英文概要： The name ’Samurai’ is synonymous with the ultimate warrior. With their elaborate armour, fierce swordsmanship and code of honour, the samurai have become iconic figures whose influence can still be felt today. From Kurosawa’s epic Seven Samurai to the figure of Darth Vader in Star Wars, to Manga comics and video games, the figure of the fighting samurai still inspires us today. In John Man’s new book we discover the truth behind the legend. From his birth in the shadow of the great volcano Sakurajima, to his glorious death by ritual suicide and disembowelment, Saigo Takamori was the ultimate Samurai leader. His fall brought about the end of hundreds of years of Samurai tradition and in many ways marks the birth of modern Japan. Saigo was a man trapped by paradox: a faithful servant to the emperor, and yet a leader of rebel troops; a mighty Samurai warrior, and also a master of Chinese poetry. His life, and ultimately his death, offer a window into the hundreds of years of culture and tradition that defined the samurai.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “武士”一词是最后的战士的同义词。精良的铠甲，凶猛的简述，以及荣誉法典，已经成为武士的典型述词，至今仍有其效力。从黑泽明的史诗著作《七武士》到《星球大战》的达斯维德，甚至是日本漫画和视像游戏，好战的武士的形象在当今社会仍会给我们以振奋人心的感觉。John Man’s新书中，可以发现传奇背后的真相。
Saigo Takamori 出生在Sakurajima 大火山脚下，直至其光荣的以自杀开膛的方式终结生命，他始终是武士的头领。他的失败宣告了百年武士传统的终结，在许多方面也标志着现代日本的新生。Saigo是一个自相矛盾的人：忠于天皇；同时又担负叛军的首领；强大的日本武士，同时对中国诗集很是在行。他的一生，以及他的死亡，向我们展现了定义武士的百年文化和传统。(兼职翻译-PZ)
