Krátky popis
Laozi’s Dao De Jing was written around 400 BC by a compassionate
soul in a world torn by hatred and ambition, dominated by those
that yearned for apocalyptic confrontations and prized ideology
over experience. By speaking out against the cleverness of elites
and the arrogance of the learned, Laozi upheld the wisdom of the
concrete, the humble, the quotidian, the everyday individual
dismissed by the great powers of the world. Earthy, playful, and
defiant, Laozi’s words gave solace to souls back then, and offer
comfort today.Now, this beautifully designed new edition serves as
both an accessible new translation of an ancient Chinese classic
and a fascinating account of renowned novelist Ken Liu’s
transformative experience while wrestling with the classic text.
Throughout this translation, Liu takes us through his own struggles
to capture the meaning in Laozi’s text in a series of thoughtful
and provocative interstitial entries. Unlike traditional notes that
purport to be objective, these entries are explicitly personal and
unapologetically subjective.Gradually, as Liu learns that true
wisdom cannot be pinned down in words, the notes grow sparser until
they fade away entirely. His journey suggests the only way out of
struggle is to engage with texts that have survived the millennia,
wrestling with ideas that gesture at something eternal, in hopes
that we might eventually reach that moment of transcendent joy.
Liu’s translation, by eschewing cleverness, paradoxically reveals
the slipperiness of Laozi’s original.The Dao De Jing has been
translated countless times and will be translated countless times
in the future. In that constant change and flow, we finally find
our home in Dao, the eternal principle that allows us, finite
beings in time and space, to reckon and reconcile with the
infinite.
