Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon

Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated. Jane English's haunting black-and-white photos that undulate in and out on every page act as glycerin elixirs, helping the words slide into our souls for patient digestion. The photographs--of a glistening spider web, cloud-enveloped mountain tops, reflections on water, leaves in the sunlight--are as serenely lyrical as the ancient text, itself. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review

"No one has done better in conveying Lao Tsu's simple and laconic style of writing, so as to produce an English version almost as suggestive of the many meanings intended." —Alan Watts --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Made for a Western audience, Mar 8 2002
By 
This review is from: Tao Te Ching (Paperback)
This rendition of the Tao Te Ching is beautiful and accessible, although some points in the translation are questionable. It seems this version was made for the Western audience rather than sticking closely to the original. For those who love the Chinese text, this may be problematic. The strength of the original lies in its ambiguity--in the presence of light and darkness, a play of light and darkness, an indistinctness of light and darkness. This version seems to choose the light over the dark. I also highly recommend "Open Your Mind, Open Your Life" by Taro Gold, which is an excellent collection of Eastern wisdom.
