... Num dos dias daquele março, lá fora, a calçada tremia sob um sol de quarenta graus, antes da chuva da tarde. Sentado confortavelmente a uma poltrona, pernas cruzadas, numa antessala qualquer, cidado refestelava-se no ar refrigerado. Trajava paleto e calça marrons. Usava chapeu de feltro claro e sapatos lustrosos. Tinha um ar de superioridade que os da terra no tem, e folheava, indolentemente, meio com nojo, um jornal do lugar. De repente, algo lhe chamou a atenço e ele ficou um bom tempo a ler e a analisar alguma coisa talvez interessante. Do alto da sua omnipotencia, ento, dirigiu a palavra ao caboclo que se encolhia no canto de um sofa: - Amazonicos no fazem versos e acreanos sequer sabem o que vem a ser prosa. Esta cronica no pode ter sido elaborada por alguem daqui. Isso e coisa de gente do sul, ou do sudeste. Esta um primor. Ao que o interlocutor, agora com o peito estofado, falou grosso: - Moço, apesar do seu preconceito, devo lhe dizer que o autor dessa cronica e de Xapuri, e eu conheço por aqui umas duzias de outros acreanos que fazem coisas iguais ou ate melhores. Pois bem. Dois raios de sol e meio palmo de lua traz a formula basica usada pelos da terra. Ha simplicidade, antes de tudo. E a historia compacta em pedaços separados de partes de uma vida. Nas proximas paginas, ha singeleza, ironia, sutileza, picardia, torneios sintaticos, sarcasmo e deboche em boa medida, figuras de estilo e retorica, tudo, num sotaque marcadamente amazonico a perder de vista.

Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and include a bonus link to the free audio book.The Book of Five Rings ( Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: for instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. The modern-day Hyh Niten Ichi-ry employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down ones opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.Musashi describes and advocates a two-sword fencing style (nitjutsu): that is, wielding both katana and wakizashi, contrary to the more traditional method of wielding the katana two-handed. However, he only explicitly describes wielding two swords in a section on fighting against many adversaries. The stories of his many duels rarely refer to Musashi himself wielding two swords, although, since they are mostly oral traditions, their details may be inaccurate. Musashi states within the volume that one should train with a long sword in each hand, thereby training the body and improving ones ability to use two blades simultaneously(wikipedia)
