Thoreau dice que la naturaleza no habla a través del poeta, sino junto a él. De la misma forma, las enseñanzas de Sun Tzu se despliegan de la mano de las esculturas realizadas por Ortega para la presente edición, que así amplía su estudio sobre esta obra, después de haber realizado una serie de películas basadas en el libro.
