TREVOR LEGGETT

Trevor represented the British pioneering spirit of a bygone age, exploring and embracing Eastern culture and philosophy, and writing extensively and accessibly about it.

Judo teacher, author, translator, and head of the BBC's Japanese Service for 24 years, he was one of the very first Europeans to study martial arts in Japan. He was attached to the British Embassy there at the outbreak of WW2 and experienced a period of internment, although being Trevor, he used the time to improve his judo skills with his guards.

After repatriation, he was involved in establishing the first secret ‘Psy-Ops’ group with the ‘Ministry of Information’ and after the war he combined teaching judo with working for the BBC.

He began his writing career at the beginning of the sixties as he stopped practicing Judo and became increasing interested in Eastern philosophy.

His first book – ‘A first Zen reader’ – was published in 1960, and he went on to publish more than thirty books on similar subjects.

Before his death in 2000, Trevor had received accolades from the Japanese Government for services to promoting Japanese culture in the UK and had an excellent biography on his life and works published in the 1980’s.

Truly a pioneer and a Japanophile, Trevor’s’ books are essential reading for anyone wishing to further their interest in the culture and history of Japan, Judo, Zen and Buddhism.

3.0 out of 5 stars Testo introduttivo allo Shogi
Reviewed in Italy on October 6, 2018

Utile introduzione allo Shogi. Vengono illustrate le regole basilari, il movimento dei pezzi, ecc. I vari argomenti non sono molto approfonditi.
Il libro l'ho comprato usato, ma sembra quasi nuovo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mais illisible sur petit Kindle
Reviewed in France on November 15, 2013
Verified Purchase
Ce livre est excellent (pour qui parle Anglais) en terme de conseils, mais si vous voulez le lire sur Kindle (la version classique 6") c'est tout simplement impossible car les images (absolument indispensables pour comprendre les explications) ne sont pas d'assez bonne résolution et il est impossible de distinguer les pièces à moins d'utiliser une loupe (et encore... et je précise que je lis parfaitement le texte même en prenant la fonte la plus petite sans aucun problème, ce n'est pas une question de vue). Il vous faudra télécharger la version Kindle PC (sur grand écran ça passe très bien) ou Android (sur tablette 10" ça passe, c'est confortable après avoir pris l'habitude de la forme spéciale des pièces utilisée par l'auteur).

Tres bon livre pour commencer (si on est anglophone) avec les mouvement, les coups "speciaux" et des parties et positions commentées.
