![]() ![]() ![]() Musashi describes and advocates a two-sword fencing style (nitōjutsu): that is, wielding both katana and wakizashi, contrary to the more traditional method of wielding the katana two-handed. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. ![]() Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. The modern-day Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: for instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. ![]() The Book of Five Rings ( 五輪書 Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. ![]()

Red Magazine ‘Much, much more than a historical novel, this is an addictive study of power, and the price that must be paid for it.a triumph.’ Cosmopolitan 'Riveting.the book overflows with a natural storyteller's energy.' New Yorker She does it admirably.a tour de force.’ Scotsman ‘An extraordinary and overwhelming novel.immensely detailed and yet fast-moving.she has set herself to capture the excitement and intellectual fervour of the period. ‘Crafty tensions, twists and high drama.a bravura display of her endlessly inventive, eerily observant style.’ Times Literary Supplement ‘Intriguing.She has grasped what made these young revolutionaries – and with them the French Revolution – tick.’ Independent ‘Marvellous.It was the best of times it was the worst of times. ‘I cannot think of a historical novel as good as this until one goes back to Marguerite Yourcenar’s “Memoirs of Hadrian”, published forty years ago.’ Evening Standard ‘Hilary Mantel has soaked herself in the history of the period.and a striking picture emerges of the exhilaration, dynamic energy and stark horror of those fearful days.’ Daily Telegraph ![]() 'One of the best English novels of the 20th century.'

The drawings Glenn Brown has been pursuing since 2013, as an autonomous means of artistic expression, maintain a thematic and visceral relationship with his paintings as well as with his sculptures. ![]() Emanating from his works-whether drawings or paintings-is a plural, blurred and fluid reality, whose visual ambiguity evokes that peculiar to our own “postdigital” epoch. Brown's interpretative, innovative hand brings to life an ensemble of marks and sinuous lines that interweave and echo each other on the surface of an artwork. Largely unknown to the French public, Glenn Brown's art presents us with the suggestive force of his translations of reproductions of works by earlier masters, his “atomization” of painting, and the inexhaustible inventiveness of his practice, which appropriates the styles and outlines of drawings and classical paintings. Yet the last retrospective of his oeuvre in France dates back to 2000. Among contemporary British artists, Glenn Brown is one of the most unusual and most unique. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first few chapters might be confusing to some who like and expect to have a clear picture of what is going on. (No surprise, since the author herself is of Sri Lankan/Arab descent and is an American Muslim). The book opens up right in a fantasy world set in what could have been ancient middle eastern lands. Yes, this is a book that is topical at times (much like many young adult novels), but still sophisticated enough to capture the attention of well-read adults like myself. We Hunt the Flame is an intricate, creative, complex, thoughtful book. I’m going to be waiting impatiently for this one! And here’s why. We Hunt the Flame was released in May of 2019, and it appears that the sequel is not due until sometime in 2021 (booooo). I am happy to say that was NOT what happened at all. So I sat down and prepared to be underwhelmed. I had also started Scythe, which tons of people praised, and I found that I couldn’t get into it. I think my expectations were pretty low, because I had just tried to read Sophia, Princess among Beasts (which was so disappointing). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Eliot, the Waste Land: Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism.
