I read this book several months ago. This book, like others I have read, provide a very
insightful and informative "look" into an ancient, yet extant, Eastern religion.
Amazon.com Editorial Review:
Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the
Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at
intervals internalized and contemplated. Jane English's haunting black-and-white photos
that undulate in and out on every page act as glycerin elixirs, helping the words slide
into our souls for patient digestion. The photographs--of a glistening spider web,
cloud-enveloped mountain tops, reflections on water, leaves in the sunlight--are as
serenely lyrical as the ancient text, itself.
