Description

This beautiful hardback edition presents the Lao Tzu's classic work Tao Te Ching, with stenciled page edges, full-color illustrations and gold-embossing.

The Tao Te Ching came into existence some 2500 years ago, since when it has become the most influential text of Eastern philosophy. Best translated as The Classic of the Way and its Power (or Virtue), its teachings are of simplicity, humility and 'non-action', and its cadenced poetry is at once spare and profound.

Featuring stunning full-color illustrations as well as the complete original Chinese text, this luscious hardback edition with stenciled page edges and gold foil blocking makes a wonderful gift or collectable for anyone interested in the contemporary insights of ancient Chinese wisdom.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Luxury Classics series brings together deluxe gift editions of classic works of literature, complete with stenciled page edges, gold embossed cover designs, full-color illustrations and beautiful patterned endpapers.
