Tao Te Ching: Illustrated Edition: With Over 150 Photographs by Jane English

This is a very beautiful, profound, thought provoking philosophy five hundred years before Christ. A slightly modified version from the original but the additional photos lends to it's charm. Perfect!

I'm not a Chinese speaker/reader so this is not a technical evaluation, but I love the lyricism and simplicity of this version, perfectly complemented by Jane English's distinctive photographic vision. One of my very favourite books, and a source of age-old wisdom that I find myself turning to again and again, especially during tough moments.

This is a remarkable edition. The translation is my favourite of all English translations I have read, and it is presented beautifully with fantastic and fitting photographs, however be warned this is not a travel-sized book.. I was hoping to take it on a bike trip but it's much larger than I had in mind, it is quite a big book! If you are considering buying this, I highly recommend that you do. It is, quite simply, brilliant.

Beautifully presented edition of this work. This is the translation recommended to me by a member of the British Taoist Association on one of their meditation retreats, and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Lovely photos with really accessible translation. A book to treasure and use every day as part of meditative or Taoist practice.

Fabulous. Wonderfully interpreted translation that is clear and sharp and takes you straight to the essence of the Tao through paradox. Photos lovely too, cannot praise it highly enough.

and yet again....the truth, endlessly repeating...... ....(I started with the Waley translation back about '69....this a lot less 'dry', but the same truths. (what else...?)

A wondeful book, high quality print with beautiful pictures

This is a great volume with many in incredible photographs. A fantastic gathering of wisdom as topical today as over 2000 years ago.

I had been reminded of the Tao, having frequently referred to it as a young woman. This is a glorious edition with exquisite photographs by Jane English. It has inspired me to take photos myself and to study Chinese calligraphy. Very, very beautiful.

Ce livre est magnifique : cette traduction en anglais du Tao Te Ching est une de celle qui me plaît le plus. Les photos sont aussi très belles. Je ne regrette pas de m'être offert ce beau livre

Has Photographs. Other versions of this book do not. An absolute gem of a book. Pay the extra for this version...

Un régal visuel, dépasse mes attentes !
