Confucius spent virtually his entire life wandering from state to state with his disciples in the hope of finding an enlightened ruler who would give him a chance and employ him, and entrust him with a territory, no matter how small, where he might establish a model government. All his efforts were, however, in vain and he died frustrated.

The Wanderings of Confucius chronicles the continuing quest of a hopeful young man searching for a place to call home and seeking a greater purpose in life. One hopes he will find greater success than The Master.

Confucius has departed from Oxford.
