Some cool eBooks
Been looking around for more martial arts and kung fu ebooks and I stumbled upon this bargain set of ebooks in one collective set with a price of just $6 (about £3.50!).
They are all ancient writings from the Orient, and are well known masterpieces of Oriental culture or martial practice.
Just read the list and you'll know:
1) Sun Tzu's Art of War - A must read for anyone! It is extremely useful in all walks of life, its written in plain language and its stood the test of time.
2)The Way of the Samurai, or Hagakure By - Yamamoto Tsunetomo. Hagakure ("In the Shadow of Leaves"') all about being a Samurai, the true spirit of Bushido - the Way of the Warrior.
3) The infamous The Book of Five Rings, by Miyamoto Musashi, one of the greatest Samurai warriors in Japan's history. If you want to learn about Japan, the Samurai and about the origins of his two sword technique, don't miss this!
4)The Tao Te Ching written by Lao-Tse in 500BCE. The Te Ching is an almanac of the hours, minutes, days and years of our lives.
As part of this offer, you also get a few chapters from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine, the entire Travels of Marco Polo and The Book of Tea, which are all traditionally great reads about the cultures of the Orient.
Masters of the Orient - all the above for less than £4? It would be a shame to miss it!
