The Eternal Tao Te Ching

In The Eternal Tao Te Ching, Benjamin Hoff presents a groundbreaking translation of the ancient Chinese text, focusing on the original meanings of pre-writing brush characters used 2,400 years ago. This unique approach aims to clarify historical inaccuracies introduced by scholars and copyists over the centuries. Hoff also proposes a compelling theory that the text's true author was a young nobleman, challenging the long-held belief that Lao-tzu was the creator. Accompanied by insightful chapter notes, this accessible presentation offers a fresh perspective on the classic work.
