Tao Te Ching

Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching llods at the basic predicatment of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how wo work for the good with the efforless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love, to childrearing, business, and ecology.
The Tao Te Ching is the most widely traslated book in world literature, after the Bible. Yet the gemlike lucidity of the original has eluded most previous translations, and they have obscured some of its central ideas. Now the Tao Te ching has been rendered into English by the eminent scholar and traslator Stephen Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell's Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a modern Zen classic, and his translations of Rilke and of the Book of Job have already been called definitive for our time.

History & Criticism

Traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, an older contemporary of Confucius (551 - 479 BC), it is now thought that the work was compiled in about the fourth century BC. An anthology of wise sayings, it offers a model by which the individual can live rather than explaining the human place in the universe. The moral code it encourages is based on modesty and self-restraint, and the rewards reaped for such a life are harmony and flow of life.

Il Tao Te Ching (o Daodejing, in pinyin) ? un classico testo taoista cinese risalente almeno al IV secolo ac Secondo la tradizione ha le sue origini anche prima, intorno al sesto secolo ac. Il titolo pu? essere tradotto come istruzione riguardante la Via della Virt?. Composto da ottantuno brevi sezioni in uno stile poetico, il testo varia ampiamente nei contenuti, dai consigli pratici alla saggezza universale, abbracciando la politica, la societ? e il personale. L'enfasi ? sulla giusta visione e comprensione dell'esistenza, la Via del cosmo, e il testo si propone di trasmettere una consapevolezza consapevole dell'essere che conduce all'armonia personale. L'inclinazione taoista a riferirsi allo sfondo naturale dell'esistenza umana quando si considera l'umano ? ampiamente in evidenza. Lo stile letterario ? conciso e spesso criptico, quindi sono spesso possibili interpretazioni multiple delle singole sezioni.

The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu is one of the most widely read and deeply cherished books in the world, a work many consider the wisest book ever written. In his introduction, translator Brian Browne Walker says, "It is less a book than a living, breathing angel."
In his new translation, Walker stays close to the direct literal accuracy of the Chinese characters while producing a modern, exceptionally clear version that has the ring and voice of Lao Tzu, a man who may or may not have been a single individual. "I have come to think of Lao Tzu less as a man who once lived," Walker writes, "and more as a song that plays, eternal and abiding."
