The Analects of Confucius Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this terse, brilliant translation, Simon Leys restores the human dimension to Confucius. He emerges a full-blooded character with a passion for politics and a devotion to the ideals of a civilization he saw in decline. Leys's notes draw Confucius into conversation with the great thinkers of the Western tradition. In all, this volume provides new readers the perfect introduction to a classic work.

Synopsis:

A translation of the "Analects" of Confucius, this text aims to bring to life the scholar whose ideals became the official credo of the great empire of China. It reveals a man who lived by the ideals he advocated, and contextualizes his philosophy with the great thinkers of the Western tradition.

Synopsis:

"This is the Confucius translation for our time."--Jonathan Mirsky, The Times [London]
