About this product

Product Information

For more than two thousand years, Confucius has been a fundamental part of China's history. Yet despite this fame, Confucius the man has been elusive, and what could be called a definitive biography does not exist. In this book, the scholar and writer Annping Chin has negotiated the reconstructions, guess-work and numerous Chinese texts in order to establish an absorbing and original account of the thinker's life and legacy. It shows how Confucius lived and thought, his habits and inclinations, his relation to his contemporaries, his work as a teacher and as a counsellor, his worries about the world and the generations to come.In this book, Chin brings the historical Confucius within reach so that he can lead us into his idea of the moral and to his teachings on family and politics, culture and learning. Confucius is the culmination of years of research, and an important contribution to biography and Chinese history.

    A problem free purchase, with the book arriving within the delivery estimate, securely packaged, as described and in stated condition. Communication was prompt, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. I have found this seller to be reliable and offers good value. The book itself was in good condition and was of good quality. I have bought several books from this seller in the past and would not hesitate to do so again.

    This seller has been extremely helpful. The booklets/magazines I ordered are personally valuable to me. Part of the positive experience is because the seller has an amazing selection. I hope to be ordering again soon. I appreciated the quality of packaging for the shipping that was used, ensuring safe arrival from the U.K.. Almost all the magazines (56) were better than described. I also appreciate how willing the seller was to work with me, being flexible, and easy to communicate with.
