No individual has so strongly influenced Chinese culture as Confucius. The ancient Chinese philosopher was born in 551 B.C. As an adult, he tried to become an adviser to Chinas rulers, but had little success. Yet his teachings were spread by his students who were inspired by the great thinker. These teachings became Confucianismthe official philosophy of China. Confucianism spread to nearby countries including Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, and today people still study the instructions on morality and responsibility.

شرحی اجمالی راجع به زندگی و اندیشه های کفوسیوس. نه آنقدر عمیق که به شناخت فلسفه کنفوسیوس منجر شود، ولی در حدی که شناخت نسبی و سطحی از او بدست آید. بنظرم ترجمه ایراداتی داشت ولی در مجموع کتاب بدی نبود. کنفوسیوس هم مانند بسیاری از اندیشمندان در زمان زندگی خود قدرش شناخته نشد و پس از مرگش به یک قدیس تبدیل شد.
This is a brief book about Confucius' life. It does not go into lengthy details but I do think it helps the reader get 'a feel' for who Confucius was and some of his ideals. It is definitely a good introductory book but additional reading would be required to find out more about what he taught.
