Little is known about Sun Tzu (544-496 B.C.) and his life during
the Warring States period after the decline of the Zhou dysnasty,
but his classic, The Art of War, has been one of the central works
of Chinese literature for 2500 years.
John Minford studied Chinese at Oxford and at the Australian
National University and has taught in China, Hong Kong, and New
Zealand. He has translated numerous works from the Chinese,
including the last two volumes of the Penguin Classics edition of
Cao Xueqin's eighteenth-century novel The Story of the Stone and
the martial-arts fiction of the contemporary Hong Kong novelist
Louis Cha.
