Beschreibung

'The Lao Tzu, as it is usually called, is the principal classic in the thought of Taoism.
'Traditionally ascribed to one Lao Tzu, an older contemporary of Confucius, the work is more probably an anthology of wise sayings compiled in about the fourth century BC. As a treatise both on personal conduct and on government it is moral rather than mystical in tone, and advances a philosophy of meekness as the surest path to survival. In the clear English of D.C. Lau's translation this famous Chinese book can be enjoyed especially for it pure poetry.'

this book is lit. the brevity of each passage was like a lil treat to read during a family visit to a waterpark. also love that the original text is also in the book next to the translated text.
