The Analects are a fascinating anthology of the words and ideas of Confucius, gathered by his loyal disciples. They espouse the importance of education for moral development and celebrate the qualities of sincerity, piety, and virtue. In these pivotal writings, human behaviour was put under the microscope for the first time. This edition contains an introduction by John Baldock and the classic translation by W. E. Soothil, beautifully accompanied by two-colour illustrations and a ribbon marker.
