An evocative and poetic new translation of this great ancient treasure with insightful and illuminating commentary. Ralph Alan Dale's translation and commentary on Lao Tzu's TAO TE CHING has captured the beauty and essence of this spiritual masterpiece. He translates TAO as the Great Integrity, that is, the return to holism, honesty and creativity; our harmony with each other, with the environment and indeed within ourselves. We are perhaps the first generation in the 2500 years since this inspirational book was written, to fully appreciate the words and their message; it resonates with our 21st century hopes, dreams and new capacities as though Lao Tzu had written this remarkable book only for us. The book is presented as a work of art, with stunning black and white photographs printed in black and silver to enhance the verses and stimulate the imagination of the reader. A classic work and a beautiful volume to own and to give.
