Book Reviews of Tao Te Ching, 25th-Anniversary Edition (English and Mandarin Chinese Edition)
Book Review: Not very helpful
Summary: 1 Stars
I found this translation to be unusable. Passages that were easy to understand in every other translation turned into gibberish in this one. I know nothing about the quality of the scholarship, but this was virtually unreadable and I gave it away to Goodwill.

Summary of Tao Te Ching, 25th-Anniversary Edition (English and Mandarin Chinese Edition)
The most accessible and authoritative modern English translation of the ancient Chinese classic. Offers the essence of each word and makes Lao Tsu's teaching immediate and alive.Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated. Jane English's haunting black-and-white photos that undulate in and out on every page act as glycerin elixirs, helping the words slide into our souls for patient digestion. The photographs--of a glistening spider web, cloud-enveloped mountain tops, reflections on water, leaves in the sunlight--are as serenely lyrical as the ancient text, itself.
