The Analects (论语, Lunyu) is one of the Four Books (四书) which were selected by Zhu Xi during the Song Dynasty as foundational introduction to Confucianism. A Selected Collection of the Analects contains chosen parts of the classic in classical Chinese, modern Chinese and English translation - with b&w illustrations.

The Chinese Sage Series contains the Four Books, which refers to the 4 canonical books of Confucianism, which have been compiled by the Neo-Confucian Zhu Xi in Song Dynasty:
大学 / 大學 Daxue (The Great Learning)
论语 / 論語 Lunyu (The Analects)
中庸 Zhongyong (The Doctrine of the Mean)
孟子 Mengzi (The Mencius)

A Selected Collection of the Great Learning, the Analects, the Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius, as a set of Chinese Sages Series, are compiled to introduce the essence of traditional Chinese culture to the world. These four books began to show their splendors as early as over 2400 years ago between the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States periods. Now they are published in classical-modern Chinese and English versions as a help to people of interest to know the basic ideas of Confucianism.

孔子(前551—前479年)名丘，字仲尼，山东曲阜(古称鲁国)人。是中国古代著名的思想家和伟大的教育家，是中国儒家学派的创始人。
　　《论语》是一部记载孔子及其若干弟子言行的书。这部书是孔子死后，由他的弟子和再传弟子辑录而成。该书内容广泛，比较系统地记述了孔子关于政治、哲学、文学艺术、教育和道德修养等方面的言论，是研究孔子思想的重要资料。
　　《论语》问世后，注家蜂起，为了忠于“圣人之言”，大多是逐字注译这部著作，由于原文的错漏和古今文化的变异，使一般读者对各注译本也是懵懵懂懂不得其要领。
　　为了帮助古文程度不高的青年读者能够读懂这部书，使这部儒家经典能在当今改革开放的经济大潮中为更多的人所掌握运用。
