A recognized masterpiece of classical Japanese literature, brilliantly translated by Arkady Strugatsky, "The Tale of Yoshitsune" is a novel about chivalry and samurai duty, love, and honor. A renowned military leader, a national hero of Japan, and a participant in monumental events that shaped the country's future for centuries to come, he remained more than just a line in a history textbook; he entered legend, and his image became a key figure in Japanese culture.

Along with "The Tale of the Taira," which chronicled the conflict between the feudal houses of Taira and Minamoto, which plunged Japan into the bloody chaos of civil war for many years, "The Tale of Yoshitsune" became a response to this national tragedy. The story of Minamoto Yoshitsune, a valiant warrior, a devoted brother, a reliable friend, the lover of the beautiful Shizuka, a living embodiment of the best qualities of a samurai, and, finally, a victorious commander—the "Japanese Suvorov," as Arkady Strugatsky called him—shows that in such a war there are no winners.
