From the Back Cover:
The Tao-Te-Ching -- the unfolding of life -- is a book to read again and again. Lao-Tzu's timeless work is of value to everyone, regardless of personal beliefs, traditions, and religious practices. It poetically encapsulates the primordial wisdom of another time, when the Sage was able to live a contemplative life, unencumbered by complex rites or the cares of the world. It is a guide that shows us how yielding leads to transformation; it reveals the highest manifestation of life, forever seeking its highest expression.

Originally translated into French by Leon Wieger, the 1913 edition was published as Les Peres du Systeme Taoiste. Wieger was recognized by the great Orientalist, Ananda Coomaraswamy, as one of the "handful" of Western Orientalists who truly understood Chinese philosophy. Derek Bryce now brings Wieger's French into English. His translation demonstrates a conscious commitment to both the original Chinese text and the profound insights of Wieger's work. To this edition, Bryce adds summaries of the writings attributed to three other Taoists -- Huai-Nan-Tzu, Kuan-Yin-Tzu, and Tung-Ku-Ching -- from Wieger's Histoire des Croyances et des Opinions Philosophiques en Chine (1917). The Wieger-Bryce translation offers the reader new insights into the eternal wisdom of the Tao-Te-Ching.

Synopsis:
This translation of the Tao-Te-Ching actually dates back to 1913, when orientalist Leon Wieger translated the Chinese text into French as "Les Peres du Systeme Taoiste". For this edition Derek Bryce translated Wieger's French text into English, with a conscious commitment to both the Chinese meanings and Wieger's insights, and with traditional commentaries by Huai Nan Tzu, Kuan Yin Tzu and Tung Ku Ching. Together, the Wieger/Bryce translation offers fidelity to the ancient philosophy contained within the Tao-Te-Ching.
