Michael Nylan is a professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work includes?The Art of War?and China’s Early Empires with Michael Loewe,?Yang?Xiong?and the Pleasures of Reading and Classical Learning in China, The Five “Confucian” Classics,?Lives of Confucius with Thomas A. Wilson, and several essays on feminism and Confucianism.
"Nylan’s translation of “The Art of War,” however, is marvelously
pointy and plainspoken. Each sentence is a struck match... The
language in “The Art of War” is vivid, and Nylan finds a tone to
capture it."
*The International New York Times*
"This small volume is a taster for a forthcoming full-scale Norton
Critical Edition containing a range of historical and analytical
essays, and presents a fresh, distinctive and original rendition of
the much-parsed classic... the text is presented in a form that is
clear and readily understood and at the same time inexhaustibly
rich in meaning."
