The Ninjas today are the stuff of myth and legend in comics, film and electronic games. But once they were real, the medieval equivalent of the SAS: spies, saboteurs, assassins. In their secrecy, under-cover skills and determination to survive, they were the opposite of the overt, self destructive samurai. Could they fly? Make themselves invisible? Of course not.It was just that their skills gave them a magical aura. As a result, martial artists and story-tellers have turned them into fantasy creatures, from James Bond to Mutant Turtles. In Ninja John Man goes in search of the truth. In a journey to the heartland of the ninjas, he takes us from their origins over 1,000 years ago, through their heyday in the civil wars that ended with Japan’s unification in 1600. But that was not the end of the ninja ethos. That re-emerged in World War Two as a little-known counterpart to Japanese militarism. Ninja ways live on in the real ‘last of the ninjas’, Hiroo Onoda, who held out in the Philippine jungle for 30 years.

Diario de un ninja, escrito por Miguel Ángel Rodríguez con ese tono humorístico que solo él sabe lograr, narra la historia de un ninja que tiene la obligación moral de ayudar a la gente. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, El Sevilla, nació en el año del Perro según el calendario chino, cosa que lo marcó desde la infancia. Aprendió artes marciales y técnicas de defensa personal en la prestigiosa escuela GGG de estudios por correspondencia. El primer día le regalaron una guitarra, solo por haberse matriculado, y en los meses siguientes lo educaron para convertirse en un ninja de primera división. Influenciado por la forma de pensar de Lee Tan Chú (pinche de cocina del restaurante chino que había en su barrio), escribió el libro titulado Como te acerques, te parto la cara, aunque nunca llegó a publicarse por motivos ajenos a su voluntad. El Sevilla da charlas en institutos y universidades para que los jóvenes conozcan la vida de los guerreros japoneses, aunque nunca asiste nadie a ellas. Ahora nos amenaza con este libro en el que cuenta sus experiencias como ninja, obra que, según el propio autor, es algo menos aburrida que una película japonesa.
Taro is a boy from a coastal village in rural Japan, fated to become a fisherman like his father. But in just one night, Taro's world is turned upside down - and his destiny is changed forever. Skilled in the art of silent and deadly combat, ninjas are the agents of powerful nobles who rule sixteenth-century Japan. So why did a group of these highly trained assassins creep into a peasant's hut and kill Taro's father? And why did one ninja rescue Taro from their clutches, saving his life at enormous cost? Now on the run with this mysterious saviour and his best friend Hiro, Taro is determined to learn the way of the ninja to avenge his father's death. But if they are to complete their perilous journey, Taro must first evade the wrath of the warring Lords, decipher an ancient curse, resist forbidden love - and come to terms with the blood-soaked secrets of a life lived in moonlight.

Blood Ninja Skilled in the art of silent and deadly combat, ninjas are the agents of powerful nobles who rule sixteenth-century Japan. So when a group of these highly-trained assassins kill Taro's father, he must learn their ways in order to avenge him, evading the wrath of warring Lords, deciphering an ancient curse - and unleashing the blood-soaked secrets of a life lived in moonlight. Lord Oda's Revenge Taro has had his revenge, but Lord Oda is not quiet in his grave. Dangerously weakened, Taro must discover the one object Lord Oda was desperate to find before he died - and he must go to hell and back to get it. The Betrayal of the Living Taro is at a crossroads - no land, no title, and no hope of marrying his beloved Hana. As he sets off on another perilous quest, the future of all feudal Japan is in danger, and everything Taro holds dear will be threatened. The dead have begun to rise.
DEADLY NINJA WISDOM FOR THE NON-NINJA Carefully consider the joy of your soft-headed ignorance before you begin to run, flip, and jump along the Ninja Path. After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja. Most non-ninjas who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die–probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner. But whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could’ve been. For the true of heart or the extremely lucky, this powerful and honorable manuscript contains such phenomenal ninja wisdom as: •How to create and name your very own lethal ninja clan •The proper weapon to use when fighting a vampire pumpkin •Why clowns and robots are so dangerous on the Internet •Easy-to-follow charts showing when to slice and when to stab •How to execute such ultradeadly kicks as the Driving Miss Daisy •Why pretty...

CITIZEN NINJA stand up to power in pursuit of freedom, truth, and justice. Citizen Ninjas speak up; they don’t wait for others to speak for them. Citizen Ninjas are prepared, discerning, self-reliant and assertive. They step out of their comfort zone to nimbly challenge powerful entities that disenfranchise the public and reduce citizen power. Citizen Ninjas respond to community issues and actively engage City Hall to make a difference. They pay attention to government business and actively direct elected public servants to create policies that benefit the interests of the whole community. They are the activists who demand government transparency and are the watchdogs who speak out when there is corruption or ethical wrongdoing. Citizen Ninjas are passionate. They know that their civic participation places them in a better position of influence when new regulations, mandates, and ordinances are enacted. Citizen Ninjas are activists who strive to preserve the power of self-government—a representative republic that is of the people, by the people, and for the people. They actively engage in the public square rather than passively allowing government agencies to make decisions on ...
This book compares post-civil war societies to look at the presence or absence of organized violence, analysing why some ex-combatants return to organised violence and others do not. Even though former fighters have been identified as a major source of insecurity, there have been few efforts to systematically examine why some ex-combatants re-engage in organized violence, while others do not. This book compares the presence or absence of organized violence in different ex-combatant communities – former fighters that used to belong to the same armed faction and who share a common, horizontal identity based on shared war-and peacetime experiences – in the Republic of Congo (ex-Cobras, Cocoyes and Ninjas) and Sierra Leone (ex-Armed Forces Revolutionary Council, Civil Defense Force and Revolutionary United Front). The main determinants of ex-combatant violence are whether former fighters have access to elites and to second-tier individuals – such as former mid-level commanders – who can act as intermediaries between the two. By utilizing relationships based on selective incentives and social networks, these two kinds of remobilizers are able to generate the needed enticements...
The World’s Easiest Textbook for Ninjas! The mission of a ninja isn’t to win in battles; it’s to survive and return after obtaining information. However, unlike ninjas in the past, surviving does not mean surviving battles and winning against the enemy. “surviving” today is not equivalent to simply “not dying.”Today, surviving means protecting against disasters, accidents, and crime, being healthy both physically and mentally, forming good relationships with others, fulfilling dreams and goals, and being financially stable. Though we come from all walks of life, modern-day ninjas are those who “survive” and complete their mission. Age, race, nationality, gender don’t matter! You—someone who has overcome difficulties—are fit to be a ninja. “Survival” is the most important skill for a ninja. 1) Protecting against disasters, accidents, crime 2) Healthy physically and mentally 3) Forming good relationships with others 4) Fulfilling dreams and goals 5) Being financially stable These are the things necessary to “survive” today. Modern ninjas come from all walks of life but share one common trait: They overcome various difficulties and survive in the face...

Dear Stupid Idiots, A lot of you have been saying that I don't know anything about REAL ninjas. But that's a bunch of bull crap! You dummies don't know anything. And maybe YOU should get a life. I bet a lot of you have never even seen a girl naked! You idiots believe that ninjas had some "code of honor." Yeah right! If by "code of honor," you mean "code to flip out and go nuts for absolutely no reason at all even if it means that people might think you are totally insane or sweet," then you are right. But if you mean a "code to be nice and speak nicely while sharing and not cutting off heads," then you're the biggest idiot ever!!!!!! So if you have any brains, you will shut up and get a life. So go shut up, you stupid idiot. No thank you, Robert Hamburger

Ana María Shua es el mayor referente del microrrelato en nuestro idioma. Su obra supone una exploración literaria de primer orden que ha modificado nuestra forma de entender la brevedad. El reto de un libro como La guerra es abordar desde la escritura mínima uno de los episodios más terribles y complejos de la humanidad. Lo bélico ha alterado hasta la destrucción geografías y pueblos. La literatura siempre fue testimonio de ello. Así, por sus páginas desfilan guerreros, armas, estrategias, campos de batalla, hitos históricos, héroes y heroínas. Todo forma parte de este arte de la guerra de quien ha demostrado ser la principal luchadora por el reino del matiz, el silencio, la elipsis, lo poético: la mariscal de un género. "Casi de vuelta de todos los saberes y –tal vez– de todas las transgresiones, Shua es una maestra de la paradoja y de su consabido malestar." Fogwill "Shua escribe con un aire reposado e inteligente y no con la dentellada hiriente de quien, artificioso, muestra el truco y desbarata el efecto, la contundente sacudida final de los textos." Ernesto Calabuig , El Cultural "Es ciencia: con el correr de los años, Shua se ha convertido por derecho y...

En este entretenido libro infantil, Jack y Annie ûsus protagonistasû realizan un viaje mágico a través del tiempo y se trasladan al Japón feudal donde tendrán oportunidad de conocer a unos personajes que hasta hoy revisten caracteres de leyenda: los guerreros ninja. El término "ninja" es una palabra de origen japonés que designa a una persona que ha llegado a dominar el arte de ser casi imperceptible. Históricamente los ninja surgieron en Japón durante el siglo quince como pequeñas organizaciones de carácter militar para prevenir la violencia y los abusos que por entonces padecían con demasiada frecuencia los habitantes de los pequeños poblados japoneses. Con el tiempo, en la medida que surgían rivalidades entre los señores feudales que dominaban distintas regiones, los ninja fueron reclutados para realizar arriesgadas misiones. Jack y Annie serán testigos de ello en esta entretenida historia.

Au cours des quinze dernières années marquées au Congo par l'avènement d'une démocratie pluripartiste mais aussi par des conflits armés exacerbant les oppositions régionales, le français, langue officielle, a connu de profondes modifications : son appropriation par un nombre croissant de Congolais a eu comme corollaire une dialectalisation accrue et une consolidation de ses normes endogènes. L'ouvrage s'efforce de rendre compte de ces évolutions sociolinguistiques et de décrire la composante lexicale de ce français congolais. La description méthodique des congolismes sous forme d'un inventaire de plus de 1 350 articles montre la vitalité de cette variété régionale et l'extraordinaire créativité de ses usagers.
