"A twenty-first-century form of ancient wisdom . . . Mitchell's
flights, his paradoxes, his wonderful riffs are brilliant and
liberating." -Pico Iyer
The most widely translated book in world literature after the
Bible, Lao-tzu's "Tao Te Ching," or "Book of the Way," is the
classic manual on the art of living. Following the phenomenal
success of his own version of the "Tao Te Ching," renowned scholar
and translator Stephen Mitchell has composed the innovative "The
Second Book of the Tao." Drawn from the work of Lao-tzu's disciple
Chuang- tzu and Confucius's grandson Tzu-ssu, "The Second Book of
the Tao" collects the freshest, most profound teachings from these
two great students of the Tao to offer Western readers a path into
reality that has nothing to do with east or west, but everything to
do with truth. With his own illuminating commentary alongside each
adapta-tion, at once explicating and complementing the text,
Mitchell makes the ancient teachings at once modern, relevant, and
timeless.
