Description: Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. The Tao Te Ching was probably written about twenty-five hundred years ago. It is partly in prose, partly in verse, not by rhyme and meter but as a patterned intensity of language, the whole thing is poetry. Ursula K. Le Guin's translation is a personal and poetic meditation. 125 pgs. with Notes. read more
"This is my favorite presentation of the dao de jing; the best one i've seen semantically (by which I mean not just accurate but also creative fullness) is by a guy named Bradford Hatcher. The translation on this one is a native Chinese speaker, but the composition of the book is what makes this really special. The book is a physical object, you can't forget it, because like a glyph, it takes your attention in and expands it in a microcosm....heh...The photos are stunning, full-page black and white figure&ground studies, upon which the calligraphed text is set. Every photo feels vast because of the composition and its feeling of borderlessness. The size of the pages also help. Brilliant."
