«El arte de la guerra» de Sunzi es, junto con el «Laozi», el texto filosófico chino más conocido en Occidente. Desde que el jesuita francés Jean-Jacques Amiot lo tradujera por primera vez en 1772, el escrito, atribuido tradicionalmente a Sunzi, legendario estratega del periodo de los Reinos Combatientes (476 - 221 a.e.), ha alcanzado una insólita popularidad si tenemos en cuenta que se trata de un texto redactado hace más de 2300 años 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 márgenes definidos por la estrategia militar, al desentrañar con meticulosa precisión los mecanismos fundamentales de la dominación absoluta. Mucho más que un mero tratado de táctica militar, y siendo ante todo un libro de reflexión filosófica, este texto proporciona un fértil e inagotable horizonte de interpretaciones y aplicaciones posibles en ámbitos tan dispares como la teoría política, la economía o la psicología. Por todo ello, «El arte de la guerra» de Sunzi merece ser considerado un clásico del pensamiento universal, a la vez que encuentra una gran actualidad al tratar un tema tan delicado como la guerra, vista desde el punto de vista del «arte», a la vez que es considerada un asunto sucio que todo hombre sensato debe hacer por evitar. Esta traducción a cargo de Albert Galvany, filósofo y sinólogo, no sólo viene a paliar una laguna —hasta la fecha no existían en lengua castellana más que versiones de las traducciones inglesas y francesas—, sino que también, gracias a la abundancia de observaciones filológicas, al uso de los últimos hallazgos arqueológicos, a las constantes referencias a obras paralelas, proporciona al público hispanohablante una de las investigaciones más documentadas y más logradas sobre la estrategia china de la antigüedad, al tiempo que aporta una comprensión nueva del texto insertándolo en la problemática global del pensamiento chino. Se incluye, además, una versión original del texto.

El arte de la guerra

Written in China more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Tzu's classic The Art of War is the first known study of the planning and conduct of military operations. These terse, aphoristic essays are unsurpassed in comprehensiveness and depth of understanding, examining not only battlefield maneuvers, but also relevant economic, political, and psychological factors. Indeed, the precepts outlined by Sun Tzu can be applied outside the realm of military theory. It is read avidly by Japanese businessmen and in fact was touted in the movie Wall Street as the corporate raider's bible. In addition to an excellent translation of Sun Tzu's text, Samuel Griffith also provides commentaries written by Chinese strategists, plus several thought-provoking essays on topics such as the influence of Sun Tzu on Mao Tse-tung and on Japanese military thought, the nature of warfare in Sun Tzu's time, and the life of Sun Tzu and other important commentators. Remarkable for its clear organization, lucid prose, and the acuity of its intellectual and moral insights, The Art of War is the definitive study of combat.

The Oldest Military Treatise in the World

Sun Tzŭ on The Art of War

Savaş sanatı

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.... These are the words of ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, whose now-classic treatise, The Art of War, was written more than 2,500 years ago. Originally a text for victory on the battlefield, the book has vastly transcended its original purpose. Here is a seminal work on the philosophy of successful leadership that is as applicable to contemporary business as it is to war. Today many leading American business schools use the text as required reading for aspiring managers, and even Oliver Stone's award-winning film Wall Street cites The Art of War as a guide to those who strive for success. Now acclaimed novelist James Clavell, for whom Sun Tzu's writing has been an inspiration, gives us a newly edited Art of War. Author of the best-selling Asian saga consisting of Shogun, Tai-Pan, Gai-jin, King Rat, Noble House, and Whirlwind, Clavell first heard about Sun Tzu in Hong Kong in 1977, and since then The Art Of War has been his constant companion--he refers to it frequently in Noble House. He has taken a 1910 translation of the book and clarified it for the contemporary reader. This new edition of The Art Of War is an extraordinary book made even more relevant by an extraordinary editor.
