Description
Laozi's Dao De Jing A New Interpretation for a Transformative Time by Laozi is a foundational work of Daoism that offers solace and comfort to those seeking wisdom. Written around 400 BC, this ancient text speaks out against the arrogance of elites and the learned, upholding the value of the humble and everyday individual. Award-winning novelist Ken Liu's new translation brings this enigmatic text into the modern era, contextualizing its timeless message for a transformative time. Through his own struggles to capture the meaning in Laozi's words, Liu shares thought-provoking interstitial entries that reveal the slipperiness of the original text. As he wrestles with ideas that gesture at something eternal, Liu's journey suggests the only way out of struggle is to engage with texts that have survived the millennia. This beautifully designed new edition serves as both a fresh translation of an ancient Chinese classic and a personal account of Liu's transformative experience. With its accessible language and insightful commentary, Laozi's Dao De Jing A New Interpretation for a Transformative Time offers a unique perspective on wisdom, compassion, and the human condition.
