Confucius, Simon Leys

The Analects of Confucius

Paperback (W. W. Norton & Company Oct. 17, 1997) , Paperback Edition

"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.
