- Book Synopsis
- This beautiful hardback edition presents the Lao Tzu's classic work Tao Te Ching, with stencilled page edges, full-colour illustrations and gold-embossing. The Tao Te Ching came into existence some 2500 years ago, since when it has become the most influential text of Eastern philosophy. Best translated as The Classic of the Way and its Power (or Virtue), its teachings are of simplicity, humility and 'non-action', and its cadenced poetry is at once spare and profound. Featuring stunning full-colour illustrations as well as the complete original Chinese text, this luscious hardback edition with stencilled page edges and gold foil blocking makes a wonderful gift or collectable for anyone interested in the contemporary insights of ancient Chinese wisdom. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Luxury Classics series brings together deluxe gift editions of classic works of literature, complete with stencilled page edges, gold embossed cover designs, full-colour illustrations and beautiful patterned endpapers.
- About The Author
- According to tradition, Lao Tzu (an honorific title, meaning 'Old Master') was a contemporary of Confucius and the father of Taoism in the 6th Century BCE. Many modern scholars, however, doubt his existence and contend that the Tao Te Ching was the work of several authors. Translator John H. Macdonald studied several different versions of the Tao Te Ching in an attempt to find consensus between them and determine the literal meaning of the original.
