About the book

Stratagems are a military plan (trick) with which a set goal is achieved in a certain situation. In this book, you can read classical Chinese stratagems translated into Russian and with comments on them. The essence of using a stratagem is explained by a historical example and a watercolor illustration for each of them. Many illustrations are supplemented by the author's comments. The book will be of interest to readers who are interested in Chinese philosophy and culture.

Each stratagem contains historical experience that helps learn to evaluate events as a whole. Stratagems teach flexibility of thinking and the ability to find non-obvious solutions, which is especially valuable in the modern world.
