Barbin. Authorship is disputed, but it is generally agreed that the first fifty letters (the original four volumes) were written by Marana. In the English editions, v. 1 contains the substance of the letters commonly ascribed to Marana. The continuation (i.e. v. 2-8), said to have appeared first in English, has been variously ascribed to Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw ; Bradshaw has also been attributed as the translator (from Marana's Italian manuscripts) of the entire work under Dr. Midgley's editorship. cf.

The move abroad. 330 $aKnown for their striking full-body tattoos and severed fingertips, Japan's gangsters comprise a criminal class eighty thousand strong--more than four times the size of the American mafia. Despite their criminal nature, the yakuza are accepted by fellow Japanese to a degree guaranteed to shock most Westerners. Yakuza is the first book to reveal the extraordinary reach of Japan's Mafia. Originally published in 1986, it was so controversial in Japan that it could not be published there for five years. But in the west it has long served as the standard reference on Japanese organized crime and has inspired novels, screenplays, and criminal investigations. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition tells the full story or Japan's remarkable crime syndicates, from their feudal start as bands of medieval outlaws to their emergence as billion-dollar investors in real estate, big business, art, and more. 606 $aYakuza$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aYakuza$xHistory 606 $aOrganized crime$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aCrime$zJapan$xHistory 606 $aGangs$zJapan$xHistory 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasia scholars. 610 $aasian history. 610 $aasian studies. 610 $acontroversial. 610 $acrime historians. 610 $acrime history. 610 $acrime syndicates. 610 $acrime. 610 $acriminal class. 610 $acriminal culture. 610 $acriminal organizations. 610 $acriminology. 610 $acultural historians. 610 $agangsters. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese culture. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $ajapanese society. 610 $ajapans underworld. 610 $amodern impact. 610 $aorganized crime. 610 $aoutlaws. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asociologists. 610 $asociology. 610 $awestern perspective. 610 $ayakuza culture. 610 $ayakuza society. 610 $ayakuza. 615 0$aYakuza$xHistory. 615 0$aYakuza$xHistory. 615 0$aOrganized crime$xHistory. 615 0$aCrime$xHistory. 615 0$aGangs$xHistory. 676 $a364.1060952 700 $aKaplan$b David E$0282937 701 $aDubro$b Alec$01522929 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779223003321 996 $aYakuza$93762916 997 $aUNINA
