Han Feizi Speaks: The Power of Pragmatism (English-Chinese)

Product Description

Part of the Traditional Chinese Culture series, this book is an illustrated adaptation of Han Feizi's theories. Han Feizi was a prince of the state of Han in the waning years of the Warring States period (475-221 B.C.) in China. The theoretical topics he found most compelling were governing through punishments and rewards, names versus actuality, rule by law, and methods of statecraft. Collected and popularized by the immensely popular Chinese illustrator Tsai Chih Chung, the book includes over 100 ancient stories for the reader of today, bringing to life the spirit and philosophy of Han Feizi through cartoon panels with a text that is irreverently humorous yet replete with wisdom. It is a great and easy tool to learn Chinese classics.
