Description
La imagen de un samurái empuñando la katana, su vida gobernada por un estricto código ético y su destreza en mortíferas artes marciales son las ideas básicas que conforman la visión popular sobre estos guerreros. De igual manera que cautivan el imaginario moderno, los samuráis ejercieron una gran influencia sobre la política, el arte, la filosofía y la religión de su propio tiempo y, en último término, dominaron Japón desde el siglo XIV hasta su caída a mediados del XIX. Dentro y fuera del campo de batalla, ya sea a la carga contra el enemigo a lomos de sus caballos o ganándose el favor de la corte imperial, la suya es una historia de aventuras e intrigas, heroicidades o fechorías, victorias improbables o terribles derrotas. Este libro persigue el rastro de los samuráis a través de los siglos e indaga en su papel en momentos cruciales de la historia de Japón como fueron la invasión de Corea a finales del siglo XVI o la rebelión de Satsuma en 1877. Al cobrar vida en episodios reales como esos, comprendemos quiénes fueron esos samuráis que dieron forma a la historia del país. Edición origina de Oxford University Press.
