L'Honneur du samouraï

release date: Feb 01, 2018
L'Honneur du samouraï
Japon, 1600. Musashi Miyamoto était le plus grand guerrier de tous les temps. Avant que lui et ses hommes ne soient vaincus lors de la bataille de Sekigahara qui a vu les Armées de l''Est renverser l''ancien pouvoir. Survivant mais seul, Musashi doute. Jusqu''alors, il avait vécu et combattu comme un samouraï, fier de sa tradition, loyal aux préceptes de la Voie. Depuis sa défaite, se soumettre aux exigences de l''Honneur, l''une des sept vertus du samouraï, signifie se donner la mort. Et Musashi veut vivre. Mais, considéré comme un ennemi de la nation, sa tête est mise à prix. S''il a renoncé à la violence, il lui faut se protéger et préparer sa vengeance contre ceux qui veulent sa mort. Pour cela, il n''a qu''un adage : « Le sabre donne la vie. Le sabre donne la mort. » Après le somptueux Samouraï, David Kirk livre une épopée captivante du Japon au XVIIe siècle et fait revivre une figure emblématique : le guerrier de légende Musashi Miyamoto, auteur du célèbre Traité des Cinq Roues. « Musashi est un personnage inoubliable et, avec ce roman, David Kirk est en passe de devenir un maître de la fiction historique. » Booklist

Kämpfer Sein Name ist Bennosuke. Seine Bestimmung: ein großer Samurai zu werden, bewundert und gefürchtet im japanischen Reich. Legende Furchtlos kämpft er im Duell – und siegt. Doch den schändlichen Mord an seinem Vater kann er nicht verhindern. Bennosuke muss fliehen. Samurai Fortan hat er nur noch ein Ziel: unter dem Kämpfernamen Musashi Miyamoto den Tod seines Vaters zu rächen ... «Ein faszinierendes, aufwühlendes Buch, Kirk schafft Charaktere von großer Tiefe. Ein echtes Juwel.» (Conn Iggulden, Bestsellerautor) «Fliegt dahin wie ein flink geführtes, glitzerndes Katana-Schwert ... Informativ und fesselnd – schlicht: ein richtiger Lesespaß.» (Library Journal) «Kirk brodelt in seinen Beschreibungen – von den großen Schlachtfeldern bis hin zum rituellen Selbstmord – geradezu vor Energie. Er zeigt das feudale Japan als eine komplexe Kultur, in der Hinterlist und Poesie unentbehrlich, Tod und Vergeltung unausweichlich sind.» (Publishers Weekly)

Un grande romanzo storico Sopravvissuto alla battaglia di Sekigahara, dove decine di migliaia di soldati sono rimasti sul campo, il giovane samurai Musashi Miyamoto, ormai solo, deve guardare in faccia il futuro. Non senza dolore decide di abbandonare la Via, si dichiara un “senza padrone” e conduce una vita ai margini. Ciò che un tempo gli sembrava degno di rispetto e onorevole ora gli appare frutto di superstizione. Ma nonostante tutto il suo nome è ancora sulla lista di coloro che hanno offeso Yoshioka, e anche se ora Miyamoto ha rinnegato la violenza, dovrà trovare il modo di difendersi e salvarsi la vita. Un racconto epico di dedizione, onore e tenacia «Un romanzo affascinante, avvincente e ben scritto. Kirk riesce a creare personaggi di grande intensità. Un vero gioiello.» Conn Iggulden, autore di Il soldato di Roma «Il libro più atteso dell’anno! (...) Una vera scoperta.» Anthony Riches, autore di L’impero «Uno straordinario esordio. Da non perdere.» Steve Berry, autore di Il terzo segreto David Kirk è nato a Peterborough ed è cresciuto a Stamford, nel Lincolnshire, ma attualmente vive a Sendai, in Giappone, dove insegna inglese. Il suo interesse per la storia giapponese è nato quando, all’età di dodici anni, ha letto il romanzo Shogun di James Clavell. Dopo L’onore del samurai, il suo straordinario romanzo d’esordio, la saga da lui ideata prosegue ora con La spada del samurai.

De erecode van de samoerai
''Een fascinerend en intrigerend boek... Een juweeltje.'' - Conn Iggulden ''Kirk bewijst een waardig samoeraischrijver te zijn, het boek bruist van de adrenaline.'' - Publishers Weekly Leerling. Krijger. Samoerai. Zijn naam was Bennosuke, zoon van de grote Munisai Shinmen, die eind zestiende eeuw in het keizerrijk bekendstaat als een van de grootste krijgers die ooit geleefd heeft. Het was zijn lot om, net zoals zijn vader, een grote krijger te worden. Een samoerai, een van de meest gevreesde en gerespecteerde ter wereld. Maar als tiener leidt hij een eenzaam leven. Zijn moeder is gestorven toen hij nog klein was en zijn vader Munisai, die samoerai is, heeft hem verlaten om zijn meester Shinmen te dienen. Bennosuke is opgevoed door zijn oom Dorinbo, een Shinto-monnik die hem op het hart drukt geweld te vermijden en net zoals hij een teruggetrokken leven te leiden. Maar Bennosuke aanbidt zijn afwezige vader, vooraanstaand krijger in Shinmens leger. Nieuwe allianties leiden ertoe dat Munisai schuldplichtig wordt aan de gehate Nakata-clan. De escalerende gevolgen van deze vete zorgen ervoor dat ook Bennosuke zich gedwongen ziet het pad van de samoerai te betreden. Hij begint aan een reis die hem leidt naar de historische slag van Sekigahara, waar zal blijken of Bennosuke in de voetsporen van zijn vader zal treden...
