Written in a masterful classical style, Ricci's sayings established his reputation as a great sage and the sentiments still ring true. Available for the first time in English, On Friendship matches a carefully edited Chinese text with a facing-page English translation and includes notes on sources and biographical, historical, and cultural information.

It is also an excellent tool for learning Chinese, pairing a superb model of the classical language with an accessible and accurate translation.
