Description
This poetic translation of an ancient Taoist text brings the spiritual insights of Chuang Tzu to life for modern readers. Witty and engaging, with a touch of surreal humor, David Hinton's vital translation makes this 4th century B.C.E text surprisingly relevant today.
The Inner Chapters offer a unique blend of philosophical instruction, fantastical passages, and short stories that are often rough and ribald, rich with satire and paradox. With bold prose, Hinton's translation brings the wild menagerie of characters and freewheeling play with language to life, making this ancient text feel surprisingly modern.
