Una periodista iraquí recorre su país devastado por la guerra y revela lo que habitualmente velan los medios de comunicación: el sufrimiento y la impotencia de las víctimas y la sinrazón y los crímenes del ocupante.
La imagen de un samurái empuñando la espada, su vida gobernada por un estricto código ético y su destreza en mortíferas artes marciales, son las ideas básicas que conforman la visión popular sobre estos guerreros.De igual manera que cautivan la moderna imaginación, los samuráis ejercieron una gran influencia sobre la política, el arte, la filosofía y la religión de su propio tiempo y, en último término, dominaron Japón desde el siglo xiv hasta su caída a mediados del xix. Dentro y fuera del campo de batalla, ya fuera a la carga contra el enemigo a lomos de sus caballos o ganándose el favor de la corte imperial, la suya es una historia de aventuras e intrigas, heroicidades o fechorías, victorias improbables o terribles derrotas.Este libro persigue el rastro de los samuráis a través de los siglos, indaga en su papel en momentos cruciales de la historia de Japón como fueron la invasión de Corea a finales del siglo xvi o la rebelión de Satsuma en 1877. Al cobrar vida en episodios reales como esos, comprendemos quienes fueron esos samuráis, famosos o no, que dieron forma a la historia del país.
The Funeral Planner trilogy is brought to you by the Dignity Memorial Network, Legacy.com, and Eternal Image. Valuable Offers & Content-Integrated-Ads Inside from additional sponsors endorsed by protagonist Maddy Banks include 1800FLOWERS.com, Forethought Financial Group LLC, GoDaddy.com, EchoSign.com, Angel Aire Urns, Heardable.com, The National Hospice Foundation, GoDaven.com, DNA2Diamonds, Cadillac Travel Agency, GotKosherInc.com, Andiamo's Italia of Metro Detroit, Eagles Nest on Clark Lake, BTB Burrito of Ann Arbor and a special tribute sponsored by First Capital Funding. The President of the United States once again calls upon Maddy Banks; this time to help China save their arable land and renew US-China relations in a comedy-adventure against a backdrop of real current-day issues. While attending Eve's séance party, Maddy receives a message from Uncle Sam's spirit: "Go to China-Find the Tombstone-Save the World." She dismisses it as a sham until the President calls with a mission for Lights Out Enterprises: Modify China's burial rituals to save their land. While charged with changing 5,000 years of tradition, Maddy uncovers the myth of a yellow lure bequeathed to her by Uncle Sam bearing a code that holds the secret to the holy grail of life; a secret others will kill for, including her arch nemesis Derek Rogers, who runs a multi-national corporation in China, as well as a suspicious client of her estranged husband Victor. Determined to "find the tombstone", Maddy engages the help of a reluctant handsome hero-expert Asian mythologist Michael Kahn, as they embark on a fast paced journey through the symbols of ancient China and Judaism to solve the mystery of the yellow lure and save China's sacred waters from privatization. If you ever wanted to learn about multi-cultural life celebrations and the Jews of China, this is a must read. THE DIGITAL SERIES: On Amazon!
