Here is the carefully researched and beautifully told story of the life of Confucius, his early years and training, his disappointments, what he believed, how he taught, where he traveled in his years of exile, whom he met, what he said about government, family relations, and all the concerns of man. We see Confucius as a man as well as a philosopher—his humility combined with his immense self-esteem, his bitterness, his humor, his wisdom.
