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.
Simon Leys is the pseudonym of Pierre Ryckmans, a noted scholar and astringent observer of Chinese culture and politics.
