DWx Posted February 24, 2013 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
tallgeese Posted February 24, 2013 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
Harkon72 Posted February 24, 2013 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.
