Master Sun said: Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.
For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has stood as a cornerstone of Chinese culture, a lucid text that reveals as much about psychology, politics, and economics as it can about battlefield strategy. For all those seeking a deeper knowledge of this seminal work, scholar John Minford brings the words of Sun-tzu alive for modern listeners, presenting the core text in two formats:
Part I: The initial text by Sun-tzu, translated by John Minford, read by Ray Porter
The unadorned thirteen chapters allow listeners to create their own first impressions of the ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu.
Part II: Introduction to the text by John Minford, read by Lorna Raver
In a lively, learned introduction, Minford explores the life span and times of Sun-tzu and considers how best to read and understand the work today.
Part IIa: Original text with running commentary by traditional Chinese scholars and translator, read by Ray Porter and Lorna Raver
The original text is presented again, this time with comprehensive running commentary by traditional Chinese scholars and more, providing context and subtext for the work.
Even those readers familiar with The Art of War will experience it anew, finding it more fascinating and more relevant than ever before.
