Product Description

Review

"Here is an honest, fresh rendition of the Taoteching that has much to recommend it. The language, though simple, aptly captures the austere and mystical poetry of the original, Red Pine, because he himself has experienced the life of a true Taoist ascetic, possesses an almost unique ability to convey the nuance and sense of this elusive text..." -- Victor H Mair, Professor of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Pennsylvania.


Product Description

Award-winning translator Red Pine, renders the classic Chinese text into exquisite English in a breakthrough translation that includes for the first time essential commentaries, considered by Chinese scholars to be vital to understanding the wisdom of Taoism.

5.0 out of 5 stars First rate, a must-buy, 16 Oct 1998
By A Customer
As every reader of Lao Tzu's magnum opus is well aware, there is perhaps no other work produced by the human mind which has appeared in as many translations, quasi-translations, pseudo-translations, non-translations and mistranslations as Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Why then, the reader will wonder, do we need yet another? Because, with the possible exception of Prof. Mair's excellent rendering, there is none other comparable to this one. Red Pine is no dabbler in these matters. A quick reading of the Introduction (which, with its photographs is itself worth the price of the book) should convince the reader of that. But the book offers even more than a lucid translation of the ancient classic (and it IS a translation, not a paraphrase of someone else's): there is a bonus on every page, a judicious selection of commentaries from ancient writers, who have interpreted the verses, and have found in them a source of inspiration which readers have acknowledged over the past two millennia. If you decide to buy only one translation of Tao Te Ching, you won't be disappointed if this is the one you choose. Justin Thacker, Los Angeles, California
