Author Bio
Little is known for definite about Sun Tzu 544-496 B.C. and his life during the Warring States period after the decline of the Zhou dynasty, but his classic The Art of War has been one of the central works of Chinese literature for 2500 years. John Minford has translated many books from Chinese, including Cao Xueqin's The Story of the Stone, and was co-editor of Seeds of Fire- Chinese Voices of Conscience and Chinese Classical Literature- An Anthology of Translations.
