Del presunto autore di questo testo, Lao Tzu, non abbiamo notizie sicure, al punto che alcuni lo ritengono un personaggio leggendario. Anche l'epoca di composizione è incerta: il libro contiene materiali molto antichi, e una copia molto simile al testo oggi conosciuto risale al 167 a.C. Quello che conta è però che da oltre 2000 anni la sapienza raccolta nel "Libro del Tao e del Te" (cioè della via e della virtù) si pone alla base del misticism...
Senza nome, inafferrabile, impalpabile, evanescente, minuto eppure infinito... questo è il Dao. Anzi, solo questo, forse, si può dire del Dao, ineffabile Assoluto che il linguaggio non carpisce e che solo un'esperienza di totale abbandono consente di esperire e contemplare al di là della sua mancata manifestazione. Il Daodejing è l'opera che raccoglie l'impossibile sfida di accostarsi a ciò che si sottrae al giogo delle parole, per misurarsi c...
Lao-Tzu's Tao-te Ching (the earliest version dated back to the late 4th Century, B.C.) has been translated to western languages over 250 times. Perhaps it doesn't need another translation. But this great text has the power to command and compel writers. Its effect does not diminish over time, rather, it ceaselessly invites new eyes. Translating the Tao is an act of reverence, is to become yet another of its many manifestations. This poetic ren...
A lucid translation of the well-known Taoist classic by a leading scholar--now in a Shambhala Pocket Library edition.Written more than two thousand years ago, the Tao Teh Ching is part poetry and part paradox, yet always dynamic and profound. Today, Lao Tzu's words are as useful in mastering the arts of leadership in business and politics as they are in developing a sense of balance and harmony in everyday life. To follow the Tao-or Way of all...
Tao Te Ching, also commonly known as Lao Tzu, is perhaps the most important of Chinese classical texts, with an unparalleled influence on Chinese thought. This bilingual edition consists of two parts. The English text in Part One is a reprint of the earlier translation of the so-called Wang Pi text, first published by Penguin Books in 1963. Part Two is the fresh translation of a text which is a conflation of two manuscripts of the Lao Tzu, dat...
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process.

A revolutionary archaeological discovery -- considered by some to be as momentous as the revelation of the Dead Sea Scrolls -- sheds fascinating new light on one of the most important texts of ancient Chinese civilization.
