Description

Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is not only the single most important text in Chinese spirituality, it is probably the most influential spiritual text in human history.

Like all of his translations, Hinton's translation of the Tao Te Ching is mind-opening.

It adds startling new dimensions to this text, revealing it as the originary text of deep environmental and feminist thought.

In the past, virtually all translations of this text have been produced either by sinologists having little poetic facility in English, or writers having no ability to read the original Chinese.

Hinton's fluency in ancient Chinese and his acclaimed poetic ability combine both of these essential qualifications.

Together, they allow a breathtaking new translation that reveals how remarkably current and even innovative this text is after 2500 years.
