The Book of Chuang Tzu - Translated - Martin Palmer & Elizabeth Breuilly

A lively collection of ancient Chinese philosophical writings that challenges conventional ideas about order, authority and the proper way to live. Chuang Tzu explores the Tao, or Way of Nature, through parables, paradoxes, humour and startling thought experiments, encouraging readers to move beyond rigid rules and embrace the natural flow of existence. This Penguin Classics edition features Martin Palmer’s translation with Elizabeth Breuilly, an introduction explaining Chuang Tzu’s ideas and an index. A foundational work of Taoist thought with a wonderfully irreverent streak.
