One of the greatest of the Chinese classics in Ursula Le Guin's striking new translation. Best known for thought-provoking science fiction novels that have helped to transform the genre, Le Guin has studied the Tao Te Ching for more than forty years. She has consulted the literal translations and worked with Chinese scholars to develop a version that lets the ancient text speak in a fresh way to modern people, while remaining faithful to the poetic beauty of the work.

Avoiding patriarchal interpretations, scholarly fixations, and esotericism, she embues the Tao Te Ching with transformative, awe-inspiring power, depth and refreshing humor like no other, in a way that shows better than ever before why it has been so much loved for more than 2,500 years. Also included are Le Guin's personal reflections and notes on the text throughout.

Apenas iniciei minhas leituras sobre o Taoísmo, e acho que esse livro foi excelente para me ambientar. As explicações e percepções nas notas de roda pé foram cruciais para me fazer entender algumas passagens.
