The Analects of Confucius
14 January 1998
Description
"This is the Confucius translation for our time."—Jonathan Mirsky, The Times [London]
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.
