Historia4 out of 5 stars 10
Was samurai warrior Taira Masakado a quixotic megalomaniac or a hero swept up by events beyond his control? Did he really declare himself to be the new emperor? Did he suffer divine retribution for his ego and ambition? Filled with insurrections, tribal uprisings, pirate disturbances, and natural disasters, this action-packed account of Masakado's insurrection offers a captivating introduction to the samurai, their role in 10th-century society, and the world outside the capital - a must-listen for those interested in early Japan, samurai warfare, or the mystique of ancient warriors.

Fascinating
Revisado: 05-08-21
This period in Japanese history is a particular interest of mine. This book illustrates the Heian period shift in political power in considerable detail. The book explains much more than a simple biography of one man. My only complaint is that the recording quality and energy level of the performance varies every few lines. While I do find it distracting, it doesn't detract from the wealth if information contained in this book.

Long regarded as one of the best introductions to Buddhism, What the Buddha Taught draws on the actual words spoken by the Buddha to give a lucid and accurate account of the fundamental principles of Buddhist doctrine. Richly supported by extracts from the ancient texts, Walpola Rahula gives clear and direct explanations of Buddhism's essential teachings.

Foundational and definitive.
Revisado: 01-06-21
For me this essential book is the definitive collection of the most foundational teachings from the Pali canon. The annotations are clear and concise, the narration is quite pleasant too.
