Tao Te Ching

This handsome hardback edition presents the classic text, Tao Te Ching, beautifully illustrated in full colour with traditional Chinese artwork. The Tao Te Ching came into existence some 2,500 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. This illustrated hardback edition features exquisite Chinese images in full-colour that bring out the timeless wisdom of the text and its subtle guidance on how to live well.
