For the first time in one volume, The Analects illustrated by
bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai C. C. Tsai is one of Asia's most
popular cartoonists, and his editions of the Chinese classics have
sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. This
volume presents Tsai's delightful graphic adaptation of The
Analects, one of the most influential books of all time and a work
that continues to inspire countless readers today. Tsai's
expressive drawings bring Confucius and his students to life as no
other edition of the Analects does. See Confucius engage his
students over the question of how to become a leader worth
following in a society of high culture, upward mobility, and
vicious warfare. Which virtues should be cultivated, what makes for
a harmonious society, and what are the important things in life?
Unconcerned with religious belief but a staunch advocate of
tradition, Confucius emphasizes the power of society to create
sensitive, respectful, and moral individuals. In many ways,
Confucius speaks directly to modern concerns--about how we can
value those around us, educate the next generation, and create a
world in which people are motivated to do the right thing. A
marvelous introduction to a timeless classic, this book also
features an illuminating foreword by Michael Puett, coauthor of The
Path: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us about the Good Life.
In addition, Confucius's original Chinese text is artfully
presented in narrow sidebars on each page, enriching the books for
readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the
self-contained English-language cartoons. The text is skillfully
translated by Brian Bruya, who also provides an introduction.
