Star, Jonathan & Lao Tzu
According to legend, the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu set out on a journey to leave China. At the border, he was asked by a border guard to record his teachings. These teachings were compiled into what we know as the Tao Te Ching, translated "Classic of the Way and Virtue."In the hands of Jonathan Star, the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching resound with the elegant, simple images and all-penetrating ideas that have made this ancient work a cornerstone of the world's wisdom literature. 112 pp. January.
