Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way) is the classic manual on the art of living.

Stephen Mitchell’ s acclaimed translation is accompanied by ancient Chinese paintings that beautifully reflect Lao Tzu’ s timeless words.
An illustrated edition of one of the most widely translated texts in the world.
Features the best of classical Chinese painting
A modern, accessible translation which reflects
the poetry of Lao Tzu's words.
‘ Beautiful and accessible; the English, as 'fluid
as melting ice,' is a joy to read throughout’ The New Republic.
‘ I have read many translations of this ancient text but Mitchell’ s is by far the best.’
James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces.
