Description

Lao Tzu s Tao Te Ching is the source of Zen Buddhism, and is probably the most broadly influential spiritual text in human history.

Complete && Unabridged. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is translated and introduced by David Hinton. Fluent in ancient Chinese and an acclaimed poet, he skilfully reveals how remarkably current and even innovative this text is after 2500 years.

According to legend, Lao Tzu left China at the age of eighty, saddened that men would not follow the path to natural goodness. At the border with Tibet, a guard asked him to record his teachings and the Tao Te Ching is what he wrote down before leaving. Lao Tzu s spirituality describes the Cosmos as a harmonious and generative organism, and it shows how the human is an integral part of that cosmos.

About the Author

Lao Tzu is the reputed founder of Taoism, but there is little evidence that he actually existed. He is said to have been a
contemporary of Confucius and to have served as curator of the dynastic archives until retiring to the mythical K’un-lun mountains.



David Hinton has translated many volumes of classical Chinese poetry and is the first translator in nearly two centuries to translate all five of the seminal classics in Chinese philosophy. This work has earned him many national awards in the United States, including a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His recent book of essays, Hunger Mountain: A Field Guide to Mind and Landscape was on the Best-Books-of-the-Year list at the Guardian.
