Sun Tzu's classic is profound and lucid. Although ostensibly on military strategy, The Art of War is a treatise on the command of a hierarchical organisation in the face of conflict. It is an organised set of epigrammatic sayings on observation and planning, cunning and deception, the goals and methods of warfare, and when and how to attack and defend. These ideas have entered Chinese thought over the last two millennia, and more recently have been widely appreciated in the worlds of modern politics and business. We present the definitive translation, by Lionel Giles, assistant curator at the British Museum and Keeper of the Department of Oriental Manuscripts.

This classic Chinese text, the earliest known treatise on war, offers strategy and tactics that can be applied to every type of human conflict. Central to Sun Tzu's philosophy is the concept of using deception and superior intelligence to minimize risk, which has made his book required reading at military, business, and law schools around the world. The book was first translated into the French language in 1772 by French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot and a partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905. The first annotated English language translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910. 2] Leaders as diverse as Mao Zedong, General Vo Nguyen Giap, General Douglas MacArthur and leaders of Imperial Japan have drawn inspiration from the work.

SUN Zi (siglo V a. C.), conocido tambi n como Sun Tzu o Sun Wu, fue un notable general y te rico de la guerra, nativo del Estado de Qi. El arte de la guerra de Sunzi es, junto con el Laozi (Lao Ts , Lao Tzu o Lao Tsi), el texto filos fico chino m s conocido en Occidente. Desde que el jesuita franc s Jean-Jacques Amiot lo tradujera por primera vez en 1772, el escrito, atribuido tradicionalmente a Sunzi, legendario estratega del per odo de los Reinos Combatientes (476-221 a.e.), ha alcanzado una ins lita popularidad si tenemos en cuenta que se trata de un texto redactado hace m s de 2300 a os por una cultura y una lengua totalmente ajenas a las nuestras. Concebido con una lucidez y una racionalidad implacables, el contenido de esta breve obra desborda por completo los estrechos m rgenes definidos por la estrategia militar, al desentra ar con meticulosa precisi n los mecanismos fundamentales de la dominaci n absoluta. Mucho m s que un mero tratado de t ctica militar, este texto proporciona un f rtil e inagotable horizonte de interpretaciones y aplicaciones posibles en mbitos tan dispares como la teor a pol tica, la filosof a, la econom a o la psicolog a. Por todo ello, El arte de la guerra de Sunzi merece ser considerado un cl sico del pensamiento universal. La versi n que aqu presentamos posee la virtud de ser la primera traducci n realizada directamente del chino antiguo. Adem s de cotejar las diferentes ediciones del texto y los manuscritos recientemente descubiertos por la arqueolog a, se ha pretendido ofrecer una lectura alejada del habitual orientalismo f cil y recurrente, integrando la obra de Sunzi en su contexto original y confront ndola permanentemente con el resto de la literatura militar, pol tica y filos fica de la poca.
