The Analects

"Moss Roberts's elegant and approachable translation provides an excellent introduction to one of the most important Confucian classics. This will prove a useful resource for students and scholars alike in understanding a key text of ancient Chinese philosophy."--Olivia Milburn, Professor of Chinese, Seoul National University "This new translation is no simple rewording of earlier translations but a fresh interpretation of this critically important early Chinese text. Rendering the original in graceful English, Roberts consistently captures the clipped, clean quality of the original."--Stephen Durrant, Professor Emeritus, University of Oregon
