Dao De Jing
by Laozi, Brian Bruya
(c) Princeton University Press
DATE: 18-11-2025
From bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai, a delightfully illustrated version of
the classic work of Daoist philosophy 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. Here, he works his magic
again with a delightful graphic adaptation of the complete text of Laozi's
Dao De Jing, the beloved source of Daoist philosophy. Masterfully
transforming Laozi's challenging work into entertaining and enlightening
episodes, Tsai offers a uniquely fresh, relevant, and accessible version of
one of the world's most influential books. After opening with Laozi's
biography from the Shi Ji, Tsai turns the stage over to Laozi, who patiently
explains his ideas to his earnest students (and us). Laozi describes the
spontaneity of natural processes, the paradoxical effects of ethical
precepts, the limits of language, the values of simplicity, and, above all
else, how to go with the flow. In brief episodes that tantalize and inspire,
he takes us into the subtle complexities of human existence. Ultimately,
Laozi, a master visionary, guides us to the mountaintop to reveal an
expansive view of life. A marvelous edition of a timeless classic, this book
also presents Laozi's original Chinese text in sidebars on each page,
enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without distracting
from the English-language cartoons. The text is skillfully translated by
Brian Bruya, who also provides an illuminating introduction.
