About the Author

"ARTHUR DAVID WALEY CH, CBE (1889 – 1966) was an English orientalist and sinologist. His translations of the classics, the Analects of Confucius and The Way and its Power (Tao Te Ching), are still regarded highly. He writes that he was not a master of many languages, but claims to have known Chinese and Japanese fairly well, a good deal of Ainu and Mongolian, and some Hebrew and Syriac." -- Wikipeda
