A delightfully illustrated selection of the great Daoist writings
of Zhuangzi by bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai C. C. Tsai is one
of Asia's most popular cartoonists, and his editions of the Chinese
classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty
languages. This volume presents Tsai's delightful graphic
adaptation of the profound and humorous Daoist writings of
Zhuangzi, some of the most popular and influential in the history
of Asian philosophy and culture. The Way of Nature brings together
all of Tsai's beguiling cartoon illustrations of the Zhuangzi,
which takes its name from its author. The result is a uniquely
accessible and entertaining adaptation of a pillar of classical
Daoism, which has deeply influenced Chinese poetry, landscape
painting, martial arts, and Chan (Zen) Buddhism. Irreverent and
inspiring, The Way of Nature presents the memorable characters,
fables, and thought experiments of Zhuangzi like no other edition,
challenging readers to dig beneath conventional assumptions about
self, society, and nature, and pointing to a more natural way of
life. Through practical insights and far-reaching arguments,
Zhuangzi shows why returning to the spontaneity of nature is the
only sane response to a world of conflict. A marvelous introduction
to a timeless classic, this book also features an illuminating
foreword by Edward Slingerland. In addition, Zhuangzi's original
Chinese text is artfully presented in narrow sidebars on each page,
enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without
distracting from the self-contained English-language cartoons. The
text is skillfully translated by Brian Bruya, who also provides an
introduction.
