Pages are intact and tight to the spine. Very slight rubbing to front flap of DJ. From a review by Ray Olson in "Booklist": "Nearly all of us think we know Confucius ca. 551-479 B. C. . He is the archetypal Chinese sage spouting cryptic one-liners and to the slightly more knowledgeable the inventor of ancestor worship and the groveling before authority that supposedly hobbled progress in China. With his new translation of the only Confucian text Leys seeks to restore Confucius' reputation by presenting him as an apt teacher for today. Confucius' China was racked by political dissolution and violence and he prescribed ritualized politeness as a means of bolstering order. But he did not countenance injustice venality and the other vices of authority; and he thought that being a gentleman--the most important and desirable status in his political prescription--was something an ethical man from any social class could attain provided he mastered the kind of education the West has called liberal. To Western societies that many find lacking in civility order and virtue Confucius does indeed speak and in this version with maximum clarity thanks to the crystalline introduction and notes as much as to the translation." -- with a bonus offer--; .

1933175804Shanghai: Printed for Members of the Limited Editions Club by the Commercial Press 1933. The publisher's copy with the beautiful redwood box Limited edition number 334 of 1500 copies the copy of George Macy 1900-1956 the founder of the Limited Editions Club with his inked initials and blind stamp on the limitation page. Lionel Giles's translation of the Analects was first published in 1907 and is distinctive for grouping Confucius's sayings thematically rather than according to the classic chapter arrangement. Giles produced his interpretation as a rejoinder to the efforts of the great missionary sinologist James Legge. According to the introduction Legge with his belief in the innate superiority of Christianity misinterpreted Confucianism's "very core and essence" p. 4. Large octavo. Original decorative silk brocade wrappers white thread xianzhuang stitching spine ends capped with blue and silver silk pattern front cover with xylographic title label speckled with gilt gilt-flecked yellow endpapers. Housed in original redwood box with hand-incised green lettering and red Chinese seal. With 4 lithographed plates.

1973221164China. Circa1973-1976. Original colour propaganda cartoon painted in colour on paper 39.5 x 16.8cm. Minor wear at extremities with a little loss some closed tears across centre horizontal fold neatly repaired on the verso with washi paper. Image very clear. In good condition. This striking anti-Confucian cartoon directly attacks what were seen as obsolete and corrupt values. The intended targets are clearly signalled: “lackeyism” the “restoration of the emperor” and traditional Confucian ethics identified in the inscriptions on the flag and in the smoke rising from the yellow gourd. At the figure’s feet lie red cards bearing the Confucian virtues of loyalty propriety righteousness and benevolence now trampled and discarded. The central figure kneels in an outdated pose of submission marked by a top-knot hairstyle tied with ribbons archaic shoes and a long beard – all deliberate allusions to a feudal past. His red nose suggests moral corruption or weakness. Scattered yellow cards marked with black dots likely symbolise bribery corruption or collaboration with foreign powers. Together these elements create a damning image of a morally bankrupt backward-looking order. <br> <br>The cartoon was almost certainly produced during the “Criticise Lin Criticise Confucius” campaign of 1973–76 when traditional Confucian values were denounced as obstacles to revolutionary progress. . unknown
