Overview
La mejor victoria es vencer sin combatir.
Esta traducción del chino realizada y comentada por Ana Aranda Vasserot nos permite comprender la verdadera intención y significado de este gran clásico de la estrategia china. Es una edición especial en la que se analiza el texto de una manera accesible, comparando distintas interpretaciones de términos o pasajes complejos y recurriendo a personajes y libros coetáneos relacionados con el arte militar, que ayudan a aclarar el sentido de la obra.
El líder Liu Jin, afirma Aranda Vasserot, comparaba El arte de la guerra con «un montón de perlas tintineando en un plato»; para él, el libro no poseía una estructura definida, sino que era una recopilación de dichos. Pero estos dichos están ordenados de una manera concreta y con un estilo definido, y el propósito de esta edición comentada es detectar el hilo que une esas perlas.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The greatest victory is to win without fighting.

Leader Liu Jin, notes Aranda Vasserot, compared The Art of War to “a pile of pearls clinking in a dish”; for him, the book had no defined structure, but was a collection of sayings.
