As the sage Lao Tzu left the Chinese kingdom astride a swaying water buffalo, he gave the border guard a small book of 81 short poems called the Tao Te Ching, or The Book of The Way and its Power.
This new version of the classic presents Vito Di Bona’s Songs of the Tao Te Ching alongside John McDonald’s lyrical translation.
