Produktbeschreibung
The Tao Te Ching,one of the most loved and widely translated books in human history,has appeared in countless English-language versions. But no modern translation has yet captured the essential thrust of Lao Tzu's work as a practical guide to living an awakened life. Now William Martin, whose acclaimed previous reinterpretations of the Tao (for parents, couples, and elders) have introduced or reacquainted this classic text to thousands of readers, strikingly translates the Tao's eighty-one chapters to uniquely address someone on a Tao,or path,with a practice. Martin frames his new translation with two illuminating, ground-breaking sections: "A Path," which introduces the Tao's nonlinear construction and explains how it works its themes and "A Practice," which provides practical guidance for readers exploring each of the Tao's themes in depth. Martin's genius in this new translation uncovers how directly the Tao speaks to readers on or about to embark on a spiritual journey.
