One day he is approached by a mysterious woman who seeks to learn the secret of \"the unstoppable thrust,\" a supreme moment at the very heart of the art of fencing. All too soon he finds himself in the vortex of a plot that includes seduction, secret political documents, and more than one murder. Rich in historical detail of a decaying world that agonizes-as does fencing itself-over the ideals of honor and chivalry, The Fencing Master is superb literature and a true page-turner.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harcourt Brace \u0026 Company, 2000","offers":[{"title":"The Fencing Master \/ Very Good","offer_id":53574386680100,"sku":"9780156006842VG","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_7f8c1bc5-6791-4535-bc78-09872b826869.jpg?v=1779988635","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780156006842","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
