First published in 1938.

Previous translations of the Analects of Confucius are based upon a medieval interpretation which reflects the philosophy of the 12th century A.D rather than of the 5th century B.C., when Confucius lived. This book detaches the Analects from the Scholastic interpretation and lets these famous sayings speak for themselves.

Arthur Waley (1889-1966) is highly regarded for his many translations of Chinese & Japanese literature.
