With these four gripping novels, Trevanian has proven himself a master of suspense. As he weaves his tales of death and danger, of action and mystery, he generates an explosive edge-of-the-seat... This description may be from another edition of this product.
There are certain artefacts that draw one in life - there are certain records/albums/cd's one might feel - without which a collection is incomplete. As with books, a dictionary, Shakespeare, Roget's Thesaurus and Trevanian's books are on my shelf. I only wish RW and I could have met. If perchance you read this -or know the author- tell him Thank You.[Have an Islay Malt on me!] A wonderful book. I also highly recommend Summer of Katya and the other 3 known books by Trevanian.
An excellent book that changed my whole life!!!

My life has been devided into two parts: before and after reading the 'Shibumi'. It gave me the concept of 'overwhelming calmness' to which the development of any person must be directed. However, the 'overwhelming calmness' is not the the aim in itself, but one of the most important stages on the way of the endless development-the only worthy thing in the world.
