RealpolitikHan FeiLabel: Hermits UnitedDescription: Variously considered a Taoist and a cynic Han Fei himself a prince has been seen as a forerunner to Machiavelli. At the end of the Warring States when oratory mattered hugely Han Fei with a stutter was the brain and the plume of the Legalist School. From Han Fei's oeuvre Mingyuan Hu selects and translates two extracts encapsulating the thinking that so impressed Zheng King of Qin who later became the first emperor of China and in whose prison Han Fei died drinking poison. This book is part of the Erstwhile Series.
