Description

The acclaimed translation of Taoism's founding text in a beautiful Penguin Classics Deluxe editionThe most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or 'Book of the Way', is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three great religions of China.

Through aphorisms and parable, it guides its readers toward the Tao, or the 'Way': living in harmony with the life force of the universe.

Traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher who was a contemporary of Confucius, it offers a practical model for living based on modesty, self-restraint and balance and is an insightful guide for anyone seeking to open their minds, free their thoughts, and attain greater self-awareness. John Minford's celebrated translation emphasises the calm, meditative quality of the Tao Te Ching, as well as its use as a guide to everyday living.

This edition is accompanied by illuminating commentary and interpretation, as well as beautifully illustrated Chinese characters.
