The bestselling English translation of the ancient classic of Chinese divination that has inspired millions with its timeless insights into the changing nature of all existence The I Ching , or Book of Changes, has exerted a living influence in China for thousands of years. Today, it continues to enrich the lives of readers around the world. First set down in the dawn of history as a book of oracles, it grew into a book of wisdom with the inclusion of commentaries on its oracular pronouncements, eventually becoming one of the Five Classics of Confucianism and providing a common source for both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy. This edition of the I Ching is the most authoritative and complete translation available, preserving the spirit of the ancient text while providing a vital key for anyone who seeks to live harmoniously with the immutable law of change. The book presents the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching along with their texts and interpretations in a format especially designed for easy reference. Unlike many editions of the I Ching , it also features the Ten Wings, supplemental writings traditionally ascribed to Confucius that provide indispensable insights into the symbolic structure of the hexagrams and their place in a cosmology where change is the only constant. With an illuminating foreword by C. G. Jung and an informative introduction by Richard Wilhelm, this beautiful edition of the I Ching shares the essence of wisdom and a true understanding of life.

Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Foreword by C. G. Jung. Preface by Hellmut Wilhelm. Design by Bert Clarke. Parts of the I Ching are 3, 000 years old, and its hexagram-based system of cleromancy probably evolved from a divinatory method involving the heating of a tortoise's soft shell underlayer and reading the patterns of cracking that resulted. This iconic Bollingen Series translation features an equally iconic jacket by E. McKnight Kauffer, who said, 'We live in...an age of T-squares and compasses. The attention therefore is attracted by the geometric, held by the geometric, and geometric design is retained longer in the memory. ' Tight, square spine. There are two Bertrand Russell quotes written on the front flyleaf, but interior is else clean and unmarked. Gilt to spine remains bright. No notable shelf-wear to the book. Mylar protected jacket has a blacked-out price and a few small areas of very gentle edge-wear. 740 pp. Spirituality/Esoterica.
