David Hinton breathes new life into a foundational text of Taoism and Chinese philosophy in this poetic translation for the modern reader looking to go beyond the Tao Te Ching.Witty, engaging and spiced with the lyricism of poetry, Chuang Tzu’s Taoist insights in the Inner Chapters are timely and eternal. The only sustained section of text widely believed to be the work of Chuang Tzu himself, these chapters date to the 4th century B.C.E and are profoundly concerned with spiritual ecology.With bold and startling prose, David Hinton’s vital translation is surprisingly modern, making this ancient text from the golden age of Chinese philosophy come alive for contemporary readers. The Inner Chapters’ fantastical passages offer up a wild menagerie of characters, freewheeling play with language, and surreal humor. Interwoven with Chuang Tzu’s sharp instruction on the Tao are short stories that are often rough and ribald, rich with satire and paradox. Read more
