Musashi: Commemorative Edition - 3 Volumes

Based directly on Japanese history, this epic novel narrates a period in the life of Japan's most famous samurai, Musashi, who lived between 1584 and 1645. "Musashi" is the best-selling literary work in Japanese history - with over 120 million copies sold in its various editions, it has been adapted into numerous films and TV series. Its main characters have become part of everyday life, and the work has become a bedside book and guide to the art of living for countless generations of Japanese people.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Musashi in Brazil, the milestone of selling 100,000 copies of the previous two volumes, and the centenary of Japanese immigration, Estação Liberdade presents readers with a commemorative edition - a box containing the complete work in three volumes and an illustrated booklet with representations of the great samurai in ukiyo-e prints - fitting for the importance of this publishing phenomenon. The acclaimed translation is by Leiko Gotoda, and it paved the way for a whole new wave of translations directly from Japanese into Portuguese in Brazil. The Brazilian edition of "Musashi" is the first complete version of the work in the Western world.
