I Ching, Paperback / softback Book

I Ching Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A landmark new translation of the ancient Chinese oracle and book of wisdom, in a stunning Penguin Classics Deluxe EditionThe I Ching, or Book of Change, has been consulted through the ages, in both China and the West, for answers to fundamental questions about the world and our place in it.

The oldest extant book of divination, it dates back three thousand years to ancient shamanistic practices involving the ritual preparation of the shoulder bones of oxen.

From this early form of communication with the other world, it has become the Chinese spiritual book par excellence.

An influence on such cultural icons as Bob Dylan, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Philip K.

Dick, and Philip Pullman, the I Ching is turned to by millions around the world for insights on spiritual growth, business, medicine, genetics, game theory, strategic thinking, and leadership, and of course for the window it opens on China. This new translation, over a decade in the making, is informed by the latest archaeological discoveries and features a gorgeously rendered codex of divination signs-the I Ching's sixty-four Tarot-like hexagrams.

It captures the majesty and mystery of this legendary work and charts an illuminating path to self-knowledge.
