The Tao Speaks: Lao-Tzu's Whispers of Wisdom

The Tao Speaks: Lao-Tzu's Whispers of Wisdom

The centuries-old wisdom of the Tao, as toldÂ Â through the profoundly wise and delightfullyÂ Â entertaining illustrations of Tsai Chih Chung.

InÂ Â The Tao Speaks, Tsai Chih ChungÂ Â brilliantly retells, through his enchanting andÂ Â irreverently humorous cartoon panels, the twoÂ Â thousand-year-old text of Tao Te Ching,Â Â the inspiring classic upon which Taoism isÂ Â based.

Attributed to the great Chinese philosopherÂ Â Lao-tzu, the Tao Te Ching hasÂ Â attracted generations of followers from across theÂ Â world to its simple tenets of modesty, peace, andÂ Â realism. According to Lao-tzu, "If we are atÂ Â peace with ourselves and the world around us,Â Â success will come unsought." Advocating poise,Â Â serenity, and complete assurance, Lao-tzu teachesÂ Â men and women to work with nature rather than resistÂ Â it.

The Tao SpeaksÂ Â offers the centuries-old wisdom of the Tao to modernÂ Â readers searching for new ways to bring meaning toÂ Â life. As with Tsai Chih Chung's previous books,Â Â the original Chinese notes are contained in theÂ Â margins of each page as an aid to scholars andÂ Â Chinese-speaking readers.

"Tsai ChihÂ Â Chung's books are awe-inspiring. his line is elegant;Â Â his characters are sharply drawn; his humor is slyÂ Â and appropriate; and his subject is profound. ThisÂ Â is cartooning of the highest order." -- LarryÂ Â Gonick, author of The Cartoon History OfÂ Â The Universe, Volumes I and II.
