Summary: Timeless Wisdom Read in Timeless Fashion
Comment: Sun Tzu's "Art of War" audiobook translated by Ralph D. Sawyer and performed by Joe Mantegna is an interesting little trip.
"Art of War" is broken up into "Lessons" which, at first blush, appear to be nothing more that contrite truisms. This is only amplified by Mantegna's deliberate and articulating cadence. However, it is both unfair and unwise to characterize the "Lessons" as contrite or as a collection of truisms. Calling the lessons contrite diminishes the fact that there should be a requisite amount of thought given to the words. The lessons are wisdom that ought not to be devoured but rather to be savored. For his part, Mantegna's delivery accentuates the fact that the lessons are to be savored as he delivers the lines of the lesson at a deliberate and steady pace. The "lessons" are also not truisms. Yes, it is true that the "lessons" are easy to read but history teaches us that the wisdom of the lessons are hard to master.
There is also some background historical material written by Ralph D. Sawyer following Mantegna's rendering of the "lessons." The historical materials are excellent but are unfortunate based upon their brevity.
