Whether such a person as Lao Tzu, the reputed author of this work, ever existed is not certain, but its place as one of the most important and influential texts in Chinese culture is beyond question. It is also now probably the best-known Chinese text in the West. Not a book in the conventional sense, it is rather a collection of profound wisdom teachings expressed in the form of sayings and commentaries which together aim to light the way to deeper understanding of the self and the world.

Seller's Description:
Very good. Das Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing), einer der wichtigsten Klassiker der chinesischen Kultur, liegt mit diesem sehr schön illustrierten Band in einer neuen Bearbeitung und Übersetzung vor. Die besondere Qualität dieser Ausgabe ist darin zu sehen, daß hier unter maßgeblicher Mitwirkung des englischen Dichters Jay Ramsay eine moderne, poetische Form geschaffen wurde, die dem Geist des Originals so nah wie möglich kommt und gleichzeitig einen ganz neuen Zugang zu diesem Text eröffnet. Der Band enthält neben der deutschen Übersetzung auch den chinesischen Text, kalligraphiert von Kwok-Lap Chan. Laotse (auch Lao-tzu oder Lao Tan), der berühmteste Philosoph des Taoismus, lebte im 6. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Über sein Leben ist wenig bekannt. Der Legende nach kam es einmal zu einem Zusammentreffen mit seinem kongenialen Zeitgenossen Kungtse (Konfuzius). Laotse stammte aus dem Dorf Hu-hsien in Ch'u, der heutigen Provinz Honan und war Archivar am Hof des Königs von Chou, bevor er sich nach Westen zurückzog; hier verlieren sich sein Spuren. Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930), Pfarrer, Pädagoge und Missionar, Professor für Sinologie, Übersetzer und Herausgeber, hielt sich 1899-1921 und 1922-1924 in China auf. Er gab 1910-1930 die Quellensammlung "Religion und Philosophie Chinas" heraus. Seine Übersetzungen chinesischer Klassiker sind legendär, haben sich seit Jahrzehnten als Standard etabliert und wurden ihrerseits in viele Sprachen übertragen.
