Confucius: The Golden Rule Written by Russell Freedman, Illustrated by Frédéric Clément “Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.” This was one of the guiding principles of life that Confucius taught his followers, five centuries before Jesus taught the Golden Rule with similar words. His principles of fair government influenced the very writers and thinkers who, thousands of years later would develop the democratic ideals of our own government. Yet, today, in the western world, the great Chinese philosopher is still commonly portrayed as a comic sage, a loony philosopher whose remarks always begin “Confucius said.” Renowned biographer Russell Freedman’s fascinating, witty introduction to the life and teachings of Confucius should finally set the record straight. Using the rigorous, lively technique that his readers have come to expect, Freedman traveled to China’s Shandong Province to visit Confucius’s birthplace, interviewed his descendents, and plumbed the famous Analects - the teachings of the sage, written down by his followers. The result is an enlightening, inspiring, and touching look at one of the world’s most influential leaders. Accompanied by the atmospheric paintings of Frédéric Clément. REVIEWS CONFUCIOUS “Confucius will fascinate readers who give him a try, and they may end up wiser for the effort. A must for all collections.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review “Newberry Medal winner Freedman delves deep into Chinese history in his intelligent, comprehensive biography of the 5th-century B.C. philosopher Confucius…. Clément’s moody, ethereal illustrations complement the thoughtful text, yet play up the mystery of Confucius’s life.” - Publishers Weekly, starred review CONFUCIOUS “Politics, education, spirituality: the philosopher has something to say in all these areas, and Freedman compellingly conveys the profundity of his thoughts… The world today could hardly do better than to ponder the wisdom of this sage.” - School Library Journal, starred review CONFUCIOUS “Freedman’s Confucius jumps off the page as a fiery revolutionary… The fascinating narrative seamlessly intersperses stories from the Analects with Chinese history and biographical information about Confucius, focusing on his philosophical brilliance… Clément’s muted, elegant paintings of towns, temples and the bucktoothed Confucius himself have a suitably ancient feel with jagged borders and fading colors.” -- Booklist, starred review CONFUCIOUS “It is no small achievement to construct a cogent biography of a man about whom little verifiable fact is known, while concurrently interpreting Eastern philosophy for a Western middle-school audience…. Freedman’s success is due largely to his tight focus on the ironies of Confucius’s life - the reformer who never wrote down his philosophy, the secular thinker whose ideas later accrued the trappings of religion.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Adults looking for a book that makes sense of our confused and troubling time might do well to introduce their children to the life of Confucius.” - New York Times
