Book Reviews of Tao Te Ching, 25th-Anniversary Edition (Mandarin_chinese Edition)
Book Review: beautiful book, overdone translation
Summary: 2 Stars
i bought this book because i loved its look - the art and calligraphy. sadly, that's about all i've gotten from it. i found the translation dull and unhelpful - overdone, like most of the tao te ching translations that i've read.
my favorite translation - translation, after all, being the real point of getting this book - is by ren jiyu, and the book is titled "the book of laozi." much more direct and effective!
Summary of Tao Te Ching, 25th-Anniversary Edition (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.
