Reviews"Van Norden has pulled off the seemingly impossible. With his direction, a serious student could make real headway in learning classical Chinese--while learning a great deal about early Chinese thought as well." --Robert E. Hegel, Washington University in St. Louis, "This is a book for anyone who would like to learn a bit of Classical Chinese. . . . If you, or one of your students, or someone on your holiday gift list are interested in a career as a Sinologist, or would like to learn just enough Classical Chinese to say you know a bit, or just like learning interesting things from a good teacher you should get this book. It is by far the most fun language textbook I have ever read ." --Alan Baulmer, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, from a review on the Frog in a Well blog, "[A] terrific little book, one that fills a niche. Van Norden is a gifted writer when it comes to material geared to students, and the book is very lucid, engaging, and funny all at once. It is a pleasure to read." -Hagop Sarkissian, The City University of New York, Graduate Center, and Baruch College, "For most people, learning Classical Chinese is a daunting task, but for those who are fortunate enough to begin with Van Norden's intelligently written and wittily designed Guide, it is far easier and, dare I say, much more fun than one might have thought." --Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania, " Classical Chinese for Everyone is great! Even if you don't want to learn classical Chinese, it is very philosophically interesting on the topic of how language affects thought. It is a corrective to Orientalist errors, and it is entertaining!" --Eric Kaplan, Emmy-winning writer and producer of Futurama, The Simpsons, and The Big Bang Theory

An invaluable work." --Michael Puett, Harvard University
