5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" read., November 1, 1999

This review is from: Four Complete Novels (The Eiger Sanction/ The Loo Sanction/ The Main/ Shibumi) (Hardcover)

There are certain artefacts that draw one in life - there are certain records/albums/cd's one might feel - without which a collection is incomplete. As with books, a dictionary, Shakespeare, Roget's Thesaurus and Trevanian's books are on my shelf. I only wish RW and I could have met. If perchance you read this -or know the author- tell him Thank You.[Have an Islay Malt on me!] A wonderful book. I also highly recommend Summer of Katya and the other 3 known books by Trevanian.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book that changed my whole life!!!, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Four Complete Novels (The Eiger Sanction/ The Loo Sanction/ The Main/ Shibumi) (Hardcover)

My life has been devided into two parts: before and after reading the 'Shibumi'. It gave me the concept of 'overwhelming calmness' to which the development of any person must be directed. However, the 'overwhelming calmness' is not the the aim in itself, but one of the most important stages on the way of the endless development-the only worthy thing in the world.

If you have not read "Shibumi" you have missed an outstanding book that offers intrique, high drama and fantastic comedy. It is one of my favorites and I re-read it about once a year just to visit the characters again and again. Being able to get the four novels in one book is such a treat. His "The Eiger Sanction" is also a page turner and offers enough mystery to keep you involved and wanting more.
We can only guess as to what else he would have turned out had he lived longer.
