About Tao Te Ching: Six Classical Translations

The Tao Te Ching is one of the most translated books in history, however, one cannot say there is such thing as a best translation for this text since some are more of an interpretation than a translation. To better understand the concept it teaches, and for easy comparison, this book presents for each of the eighty-one chapters of the Tao Te Ching, six side-by-side classic translations by: - Dwight Goddard and Henri Borel (1919) - Walter Gorn Old (1904) - James Legge (1891) - Isabella Mears (1916) - C. Spurgeon Medhurst (1905) - Ch’u Ta-Kao (1904) The book also presents twenty-one beautiful traditional Chinese paintings to illustrate this classic text of the Chinese philosophy.
