Confucius. Wisdom for All Times

The teachings of Confucius, based on humaneness, virtue, fidelity to traditions, wisdom, and sincerity, spread across China much like the teachings of Buddha in India, and Confucianism itself held the status of state ideology until the early 20th century and was even referred to as a religion. This gift edition presents over 300 philosophical sayings of Confucius from the most revered book of Confucianism – «Conversations and Judgments», in the professional translation by P.S. Popov (1842-1913), as well as reminiscences about Confucius from his students. The pearls of Eastern wisdom harmoniously complement 128 classical Chinese engravings. Touch the immortal soul of the Master, who has been imparting knowledge to ever-new generations of readers for over 2000 years, inspiring and supporting each of them on their path to Heaven with his concise yet wise words.
