Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way by Ursula K. Le Guin, Laozi

5.0

Late science fiction master presents her take on Lao Tzu's classic work. She calls it a "rendition," as she does not translate Chinese, but uses other translations and interpretations to create one uniquely her own and well suited to modern readers. It's a classic because it speaks to timeless problems and paradoxes of human existence and an important book to read in the age of Trump.

[I received an advanced reader's copy of this reissue from Netgalley. The book is due to be published May 14, 2019.]
