Harukichi Shimoi's The Italian War 50% off

After a brief summer hiatus, we're back and better than ever. https://tikhanovlibrary.com/

As well as a new homepage, we've changed the format on all our books to proper pocketbook sizes. Not only is this easier to carry around/looks better, it also reduces costs which lets us pass the savings onto you!

To celebrate, for this month only we'll be selling Harukichi Shimoi's The Italian War for only $5 USD, a full 50% discount. The Italian War was the first book I translated, and seeing the reception is what really inspired me to try to make it in publishing.

For some of you this is old news, but many of you have probably never heard of this book, and I never had it posted on my website. Harukichi Shimoi was a Japanese adventurer/poet who lived in Italy during the Great War and involved himself very deeply in the struggles of the Italian nation at that time. The Italian War is a collection of correspondences between Shimoi and his friends written towards the end of the war, while Harukichi Shimoi was traveling alongside the Arditi as a war-correspondent.

Recently Shimoi has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to being featured as a final boss in the popular video game Hearts of Iron IV.

It's a very short, very interesting, little book, and you can order a copy here: https://tikhanovlibrary.com/product/the-italian-war/
