The Art of War: The Ancient Classic The Ancient Classic. Including the translated "The Sayings of WU TZU"

I'm so happy i got my hands on this beautifully leatherbound piece of eastern history. This book looks stunning with its black leather cover and golden edge. I'm actually rather surprised by the low price of this tome. The contents of this work are very impressive as well, as they are very informative yet easy to read and process. I usually struggle more while reading nonfiction historical books in longer sittings but this one really pulled me in. The author didnt just put pieces of chinese (and generally asian) history/philosophy in a chronological order but did it in a way to give the different excerpts a cultural context. This doesnt just help us understanding the contents on their own, but makes us see the cultural relevance even to this day. Seriously a must-read for fans of Asian Culture and fans of philosophy in general.
