Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way by Lao Tzu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an edition of the Tao Te Ching adapted by Ursula K. Le Guin.
I was tempted to end my review here and now so as not to break the perfection of the above sentence. It’s an edition made with affection, seriousness and awareness of the changing permanence that has led us people of the 21st century looking for guidance and wisdom in books set in the distant future (Le Guin’s novels) and in the distant past (this book).
Tao Te Ching adapted by Ursula K. Le Guin. It’s as good as it sounds and then some: in my mind the definitive version of this widely-translated ancient book of wisdom for the contemporary person.
