1.The Art of WarThe Art of War
from Tantor Media
Price: $17.25

Customer Review:
The Art of War is overrated in relation to more recent works, notably The Prince, On War, and The Book of Five Rings, and many Roman and Greek texts could be mentioned, for differing reasons.
The Prince was written during the tumult of the cultural and linguistic formation of early Italy (as... more info

2.Peony in Love: A NovelPeony in Love: A Novel
from audible.com
Price: $15.73

Customer Review:
I loved this book. I found it fascinating...tragic...hauntingly beautiful. I recommended it to a friend and she also loved it. It's a story that stayed with me for many weeks after I finished it. It was not at all what I expected as a "love story" in the traditional way, and thank goodness, because... more info

3.1421: The Year China Discovered America1421: The Year China Discovered America
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
A must read and a corrective of the present history of the discovery of America by Columbus. The cruelness of the emperor and his vision of a great "market" and "friends" across the seas are truly fascinating and understandable, yet frightening. The "proofs" and evidence presented make this the most... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $48.37

Customer Review:
I gave this four stars because it was written by the expert on China but a little heavy and a slight bore to read. Still working my way through it. I should be a fellow expert by the time I'm finish !!

7.The Search for Modern China: A Documentary CollectionThe Search for Modern China: A Documentary Collection
from W. W. Norton
Price: $30.37

Customer Review:
This is a really good collection of documents meant to complement Spence's "The Search for Modern China" textbook. It really makes the textbook come alive, transforming otherwise bland characters into real people. It was indispensible for really understanding the main text.

8.The Analects of Confucius : A Philosophical Translation (Classics of Ancient China)The Analects of Confucius : A Philosophical Translation (Classics of Ancient China)
from Ballantine Books

Customer Review:
This version may be historically accurate, but like historically accurate versions of the Bible, it is boring because of this fact. I prefer more soul-ful renditions, such as the Penguin translation. Worth having along with another more colorful translation.

9.The Memory Palace of Matteo RicciThe Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
Not being interested in Christian missionary work in China, I had resisted reading this book for years. That was a terrible mistake and another example of how you can't judge a book by its cover or title. The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci is not so much a book about Matteo Ricci or missionaries as... more info
