You may rob the Three Armies of their commander, but you cannot deprive the humblest peasant of his opinion - Confucius (Analects 9.25)
The Analects of Confucius has been one of the most widely read and studied books in China for the last 2,000 years, and continues to have a substantial influence on thought and values today. His words largely concern ethics, morality within the family, within marriage and within government, social relationships, justice and sincerity, valour and virtue. But whether you regard this as high philosophy or self-help for all the ages, whether your interest is in Chinese culture or leadership, whether it is spirituality or success that occupies your thoughts, Confucius has wise and accessible things to say about them all.
This illustrated complete edition of the Analects, which is made up of 20 books of brief passages from Confucius and his disciples, is presented with a new introduction, editorial notes and illustrations and photographs. Fully illustrated and in a handy pocket format, Confucius: The Analects will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality and Chinese culture.
