Larsentil migfor 0 minutter sidenDetaljerI believe that the world would be a better place if everyone lived by the wisdom delivered in books such as "Tao Te Ching", Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" and Epictetus' "Handbook".I've done some research to find the best version of the Tao Te Ching, and I found that it all depends on what I want to obtain: if I need a straightforward text in modern English, I would go for Stephen Mitchell's version. The text is less poetic, but it's easier to understand. In addition, there are thorough notes explaining what the the original text read. So after all, you do get a full picture of what Lao Tzu wanted to say.James Legge's version is a pearl in all its editorial setup including beautiful images and nice structuring of the text in verses. The language is a bit dated, but it strengthens the feeling of reading something from a different era. The wording is poetic, a bit complex and at times outright unclear, but it's exactly that what leaves space for one's own interpretation and further thinking.Bottomline: Read Legge's version and keep Mitchell's as a reference if and when you need to understand the text in plain language - yet, through the eyes of Mitchell, who has condensed the text to a format, which is sometimes quote far from the "original".

This is a scholarly translation from over 100 years ago
This isn't the main translation for good reason it is cumbersome with factoids and outdated words that fell out of use long ago and they take no (or very little) poetic license to fit the tone of the original book HOWEVER this version offers comments on translation and context that so many other copies are painfully devoid of if you wish to try your hand at understanding what the ancient people of China meant by The Tao then this is the book for you

A very good introduction to this philosophy.
I really liked this book exploring this philosophy; and recommend it for those wanting an introduction to it.It opens one to Eastern philosophy and it's way of thinking.

Beautiful spiritual journey
This was my first introduction to Tao Te Ching. I enjoyed reading every verse of this translation. The book never fails to remind me to take a deep breath and reflect/think calmly about whatever I am concerned about in real life. It taught me to let go when possible and see the beauty in spontaneity.Some of the concepts that the book presents are very profound and complex. The use of metaphors certainly helps simplify them. I also think that this translation does a great effort in helping readers understand those concepts. For example, even as a non-native English speaker, I found the language easy to understand, I also liked how the verses were structured and presented, and I appreciated that Sharon Levesque provided a summary of what the main concepts represent. These elements guided my reading as a first time reader, and I highly recommend this translation.

Work of Art
This book is so, well, just pretty. There are so many illustrations. The print and paper quality is outstanding. The way it is a hard cover, is different then anything I have even seen. The translation (and why) is very clearly explained and ends up being a solid mix between other translations ( Mystical vs. Political as an example). I find this version very readable and it bring to me a slightly different insight of the text content as well. Again, even the binding structure of this Tome and paper lends a degree mystery to it's overall character. I feels as great in the hands as it looks on the table, as reads and fills the mind with concepts of the Tao. I love it! - GDR MT

Returning back to the Root
“That is why the sage is guided by the belly of their inner soul. Unconcerned by what is seen with the outer eye, they let go of what is without, to lay hold of what is within.” (Verse 12). Sharon Levesque’s lifelong dream project, to decode and provide a modern translation of the Tao Te Ching, gives us a spiritual handbook for those of us who seek, to understand The Way of Life. Is ego the barrier? Do we understand Essence…Silence…Void…Non-Ego Action? “Yield and be flexible, then you can be preserved whole. Bend, then you can be straightened. Empty, then you can be filled to fullness. Wear out, then you can be renewed and improved. Diminish, then you can receive.” (Verse 22) A beautiful, life-changing translation of Lao-Tzu’s wise teachings.

Ancient text and it’s a masterpiece
The Tao Te Ching is an excellent instruction manual, and an intriguing capsule of a very Eastern way to look at life. Everyone should read it at least once. Some memorable quotes:“To know people is wisdom but to know yourself is enlightenment.To master people takes force, but to master yourself takes strength.To know contentment is wealth, and to live with strength resolve”.“The more you do for others, the more plenty is yours,And the more you give to others the more abundance is yours.”

Sabiduría Eterna en Pocas Palabras
El "Tao Te Ching" no es solo un libro; es un viaje a través de la sabiduría milenaria. En sus páginas, Lao Tzu nos ofrece un espejo para reflexionar sobre la vida, la naturaleza y el flujo del universo. Cada verso es una perla de conocimiento, invitando a una meditación profunda y a una comprensión más íntima del Tao, o el "Camino".Lo que más sorprende de esta obra es su relevancia atemporal. A pesar de haber sido escrito hace más de dos mil años, sus enseñanzas siguen resonando con fuerza en el mundo moderno. Aborda temas universales como la armonía, la simplicidad, la humildad y la flexibilidad con una claridad y profundidad que desafía el tiempo.La belleza del "Tao Te Ching" reside en su simplicidad. No pretende ser un manual exhaustivo, sino más bien un conjunto de signos que guían hacia una comprensión más profunda de la vida y del propio ser. Es un libro para leer una y otra vez, descubriendo capas de significado con cada lectura.En resumen, el "Tao Te Ching" es una obra imprescindible para aquellos que buscan sabiduría, paz interior y una comprensión más profunda de la vida. Es un libro que no solo se lee, sino que se experimenta y se vive.

Timeless
A timeless classic. If you don't know the way of the Tao, get yourself in this reading. It' sime, yet sophisticated and when you get it you will come back for more and "unget it". So is the way of the Tao :)
