Ivanhoe's richly annotated translation of this classic work is accompanied by his engaging interpretation and commentary, a lucid introduction, and a Language Appendix that compares eight classic translations of the opening passage of the work and invites the reader to consider the principles upon which each was rendered. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Faithful and moving translationThis is a remarkable translation both for its rigor in keeping to the original Classical Chinese text and for the beauty of its prose. I definitely recommend this one for anyone's first taste of the Tao Te Ching. Rating: - Probably the bestThis is probably the best and most accessible translation of the Daodejing available. It stays true to the original Chinese text, but is also sensitive to its poetic form. Hall and Ames' text is also excellent, but not useful for those who have only a casual interest in the Daodejing. Highly recommend. Also, beware of copies of the Daodejing which purport to be "translations" when they are nothing more than re-imaginings (e.g. Ursula le Guin's, Witter Bynner and Stephen Mitchell's). ...

My translation of the Daodejing is now published by Hackett Publishing Company. The ISBN number is 0872207021. The previous publisher has no legal right to sell copies of my book. Please see the Hackett web page to order this volume. Rating: - A beautiful book and an excellent translationThis volume is lovely, and the translation is excellent. I recommend this for both lay and academic readers.
