One of the most influential books in human history, in a revelatory new translation China's first and greatest teacher, Confucius travelled from state to state as an itinerant philosopher. Eventually he came to represent the standard of behavior for all of society - including the emperor himself. 'The Analects' preserves his major teachings, as compiled by his disciples after his death - everything from how people should relate to each other (the Golden Rule, which he was the first to define), to how a country should be organised (like a family), to how to lie in bed (not like a corpse).
