In his pilgrimage to Japan, Musashi's fame has been increasing along with his growing dominance of the Way of the Sword. Become an exemplary swordsman, the great lords of feudal Japan want to use him and make him his servant, convinced of the tremendous value of his arm. However, Musashi is not the only warrior whose name is on everyone's lips: like him, Sasaki Kojiro has earned an unparalleled reputation. Turned both without discussion into the two most important swordsmen of their time, only one of them can remain as the greatest, in an epic and immortal battle. With this third volume comes to an end the epic of Musashi, whose life and deeds seduced the mythical Japanese imagination as perhaps no other figure ever achieved it. In Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) life is clothed in a luminous halo of legend that overlaps its real history and would, by its importance, be the Japanese equivalent of Cid Campeador in Spain. Written by Eiji Yoshikawa by installments between 1935 and 1939, Musashi is a fundamental work to know the history of the most famous samurai of Japan, being such its importance that the work enjoys a pupularity and influence that continue to increase as they pass the years. But Musashi is also a novel in the best tradition of Japanese fiction. A living, subtle and imaginative story, full of memorable characters and vividly depicting a world that Westerners only know vaguely. The appeal of the novel, universal, makes it an unforgettable classic with which to delve into the picturesque and attractive world of feudal Japan.
