A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This unique edition of the Tao Te Ching features:

• the first comprehensive verbatim translation of the entire text of the Tao Te Ching;
• literal character definitions that allow the reader to create his or her own interpretation;
• a concordance section that enables the reader to track the different ways a single character is used throughout the work;
• grammatical and interpretive notes on individual terms and verses; * a unique commentary on the first verse, which represents a complete spiritual teaching in itself; and
• a literary translation of the Tao Te Ching that can be read on its own or compared with the verbatim translation.

Revue de presse

"It would be hard to find a fresh approach to a text that ranks only behind the Bible as the most widely translated book in the world, but Star achieves that goal. . . . As fascinating to the casual scholar as it is for the serious student." -NAPRA ReView "Jonathan Star's Tao Te Ching achieves the essential: It clarifies the meaning of the text without in the slightest reducing its mystery." -Jacob Needleman
