A review by gaiusgallus
The Book of Chuang Tzu by Zhuangzi

4.0

Fantastic book, full of parables that exemplify the Tao, full of life and humor. I rate it slightly lower than the Tao-Te-Ching simply because, as a text, it is a little less approachable. This is only because it makes many allusions and references to historical/mythical figures. While this translation does provide some foot notes for specific figures, I feel there is something lost on me as someone not intimately familiar with the history and culture of the time this was written.

Beyond that, I think this is a wonderful text. I am excited to return to it after some thought over its themes.
