TENGU OF KARATE by Agustin DeMello

Tengu is a novel which will transport the reader into a time when the true spirit of great Karate Masters was alive and well.  The author, Agustin DeMello based Tengu on his own martial arts experiences, but also on characters, institutions and places which are imaginary.  An authentic flavor has been maintained throughout this novel, but any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.  The philosophy of Karate and the men who studied and practiced Karate throughout the ages features violent people living during violent times.  It is also a story of gentle, peace loving people who sought only to protect themselves from unscrupulous tyrants who would dominate them and even take their lives.  A perfect addition to any martial artist’s library.
