DWx Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Can anyone recommend a good translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War?I want to expand my library and want to get a physical copy. I'm looking for a copy that's not only a good translation but maybe also has some good commentary too.Same question for The Book of Five Rings.(bonus points if both books are published in the same series - I like my shelves to look neat)Thanks in advance "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallgeese Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thomas Cleary has the best translation of Five Rings I've found to date. I've checked thru a few and his was top notch. I'll have to check and see what my current copy of Art is War is. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkon72 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 James Clavell has the best English translation for me, my favorite quote is; "Don't Fight a Battle until it is already Won". Enjoy. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
