"Surprisingly tiny but profound"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I was taken aback by its relatively tiny appearance when it first arrived. “What could this puny book truly reveal to me?!” I assumed. However there are some very profound words within this collection of 80 or so verses. The biggest benefit is, you can pick this book up at any time and turn to any page for some divine wisdom in that moment and then pop it down again until you need it next. You don’t need to read it from cover to cover to gain something from it. For me though, I guess I was expecting a flowing story that I could read from beginning to end. Oh well, it is, what it is… ONE IMPORTANT TIP: There are so many different translations and ‘interpretations’ out there. Do your homework and get a translation that is going to meet you exactly where you’re at in life right now.

Description

In the hands of Jonathan Star, the eighty-one verses of the TAO TE CHING resound with elegant, simple images and all-penetrating ideas that have made this ancient work a cornerstone of the world's wisdom literature. This is another classic title in the 'Tarcher Cornerstone Edition' series, in which the great works of philosophy, spirituality and mind, body & spirit are presented for today's readers.

Author Biography:

ABOUT THE TRANSLATORS Gia-fu Feng was born in Shanghai in 1919, was educated in China, and came to the United States in 1947 to study comparative religion.  He held a BA from Peking University and an MA from the University of Pennsylvania.  He taught at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, and directed Stillpoint Foundation, a Taoist community in Colorado.  Gia-fu Feng died in 1985. Jane English, whose photographs from the integral part of the book, holds a BA from Mount Holyoke College and received her doctorate from the University of Wisconsin in experimental high energy particle physics.  In 1985 she found her own publishing business, Earth Heart.  Her books and calendars include Different Doorway: Adventures of Caesarean Born, Mount Shasta: Where Heaven and Earth Meet (with Jenny Cole) and the yearly Tao Te Ching Calendar.  She was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1942. Chuang Tsu/ Inner Chapter (1974), a companion volume to Lao Tsu/ Tao Te Ching, is a direct outcome of the successful collaboration between Gia-fu Feng and Jane English on the Tao Te Ching.
