Du devoir des guerriersRécits
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

From the Back Cover
Deux années après Cinq amoureuses, Ihara Saikaku publie en 1688 la seconde de ses oeuvres consacrées à la vie des guerriers. Après s'être essayé l'année précédente à donner une tradition de la Voie des guerriers, voici qu'il examine le devoir austère, parfois absurde, toujours cruel qui régit leur vie et décide de leur fin.Saikaku, riche bourgeois préoccupé de poésie, d'amours et d'argent, semble rester pantois devant le monde singulier qu'il découvre, mais le diable ne s'est pas entièrement fait ermite : l'humour et la causticité ne l'ont pas quitté, et l'on apprendra ainsi, entre autres, de quelle façon un guerrier, pleutre notoire et lâche invétéré, reçoit de son maître une récompense pour haut fait de bravoure.L'Occident trop souvent n'est guère averti devant les notions incomplètes, voire fausses, qu'on lui présente parfois du guerrier japonais. Ces Récits, sous la plume d'un observateur à l'oeil féroce mais précis, le montrent tel qu'il était à la fin du XVIIᵉ siècle : homme de guerre certes, mais profondément humain dans l'inhumanité de son Devoir.
