Description
This is the story of a poor but brilliant man whose burning ambition for greatness in the over-organized, aristocratic society in which he lived was never realized. But his humiliations provoked thought, and thought evoked wisdom. He became the wisest man of his time; a teacher extraordinary who not only inspired his own times but also shaped the ages to come.
Betty Kelen's simply written and highly entertaining book gives a vivid and attractive picture of the personality of Confucius. It also tells us what he really said as it has come down to us from the ancient chroniclers of Chinese tradition.
