Summary

Inazo Nitobe's 'Bushido, the Soul of Japan' is a comprehensive exploration of the code of conduct followed by the samurai warriors in feudal Japan. The book delves into the intricate details of Bushido, discussing its principles, moral values, and the way of life it cultivated among the warrior class. Nitobe's literary style is both informative and poetic, reflecting the essence of the samurai ethos with elegance and depth. Written in the early 20th century, 'Bushido, the Soul of Japan' provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of Japan during that time period, making it a significant work of literature for understanding the Japanese mindset. Nitobe's background as a Japanese diplomat and educator lends credibility to his analysis of Bushido, offering readers a unique perspective on the topic. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Japanese history, philosophy, or martial traditions. 'Bushido, the Soul of Japan' is a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and enlighten readers worldwide.

    "Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable."
    Virginia Woolf's essay begins by lamenting the surprise neglect of ill-health as a potential literary subject. What then unfolds is a dazzlingly written series of reflections on sickness, fiction, and the chilling indifference of the natural world. Above all a testament to the fundamental solitariness of the human soul, this is an indispensable work by the preeminent stylist of twentieth-century English literature.

    It is now more than seventy years since the creation of the state of Israel, yet its origins and the British Empire's historic responsibility for Palestine remain little known. Confusion persists too as to the distinction between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. In Legacy of Empire, Gardner Thompson offers a clear-eyed review of political Zionism and Britain's role in shaping the history of Palestine and Israel. Thompson explores why the British government adopted Zionism in the early twentieth century, issuing the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and then retaining it as the cornerstone of their rule in Palestine after the First World War. Despite evidence and warnings, over the next two decades Britain would facilitate the colonisation of Arab Palestine by Jewish immigrants, ultimately leading to a conflict which it could not contain. Britain's response was to propose the partition of an ungovernable land: a 'two-state solution' which - though endorsed by the United Nations after the Second World War - has so far brought into being neither two states nor a solution. A highly readable and compelling account of Britain's rule in Palestine, Legacy of Empire is essential for those wishing to better understand the roots of this enduring conflict.
