Tao Te Ching

Written some 2,500 years ago, the Tao Te Ching is the most influential text in Eastern philosophy, its teachings built around simplicity, humility and the idea of non-action, expressed through poetry that is spare yet profound. This edition brings together beautiful illustrations and the complete Chinese text, alongside a translation by John H. Macdonald, who worked across several existing versions in an attempt to find consensus among them and arrive at the literal meaning of this classic work.
