Format:Paperback
William Soothill's translation of "The Analects" goes further than just give an English version of the ancient Chinese text. He includes a 'Dramatis Personae' at the beginning, as well as an explanation of how Chinese names can take on different forms whilst still referring to the same person. He has indexed the book carefully so that references to key people and places can be readily found, and the notes he includes with the translation enable to reader to be able to take "The Analects" in context with the rest of Chinese history of that period.

This edition of "The Analects" is presented with a gloss cover and sturdy pages, making it all the more reasonable for its price.

Brilliant 24 May 2007
Format:Paperback
Great book especially considering its age. Confucius is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest thinkers ever and his analacts, a collection of his thoughts and teachings are right up there with Sun Tzu's Art of War for the respect they still recieve today.

Conficius has many great teachings in this very short book, I trawled through it with a highlighter and regularly go back and reread the lines which mean the most to me. Some of his ideas can change the way you think and act towards others for the better if you take them onboard and apply them in your life.

This book would also be good for anyone who appreciates inspiration books like Art of War for application in management situations. The ideas may be able to help you better understand, communicate with and respect colleagues.

the analects 24 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback
This is one of the most boring books I have ever had the misfortune to try to read. If anyone could gain any wisdom from this book then they would have to have been a complete fool before they began to read it. I was always of the mind that Confucius was supposedly a wise man or a sage. However, I now believe that his name should not be Confucius but "Confused". Don,t waste your time and money on this rubbish. There is no wisdom to be gained from this book.
