本书用漫画的形式讲述了孔子如何从一个普通人成长为中国古代伟大的思想家、教育家、儒家学派创始人,并最终成为圣人的故事。孔子之所以被后世尊为圣人,就在于其看似平易的思想和言行,无不与包括科学与哲学在内的中国文化相互通约。本书呈现给大家的是一个有血有肉的圣人形象。This book tells the story of how Confucius grew from an ordinary person to a great thinker, educator, and founder of Confucian school in ancient China, and finally became a "sage." The reason why Confucius was revered as a saint by the later world was that his seemingly easy thoughts, words and deeds were all in agreement with Chinese culture, including science and philosophy. What this book presents to everyone is the image of a flesh and blood "sage."
