Description

The I Ching: A New Translation by David Hinton is a beautifully rendered version of the seminal Chinese text. In this radically new translation, Hinton strips away the usual apparatus to reveal a deeply poetic and philosophical text. The result is a work of literature that is full of wild imagery, fables, aphorisms, and stories. Hinton's translation restores the I Ching to its original lyrical form, revealing a fully formed work of literature in its own right. This version of the text is free from the arcane language and extensive commentary that often characterise previous translations. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the philosophical heart of the I Ching, and the literary beauty that lies within. Acclaimed for his eloquence in translating ancient Chinese poetry and philosophy, Hinton has created a contemporary text that is both primal and postmodern. This is a unique and thought-provoking work that is sure to appeal to anyone interested in Chinese philosophy, poetry, and culture.
