This review is from: Spirit of Tao Te Ching (Paperback)
Jeff Rasmussen has written a rendering rather than a strict and direct translation of the famous Tao te ching that succeeds in capturing its heart and spirit. His choice to use shorter verses, more in keeping with the original, helps to eliminate the conflation of interpretation and translation and the distracting repetitiveness in some other translations. The Tao truly cannot be spoken, but because Dr. Rasmussen seems to understand this, his version helps to at least give us a glimpse of the ineffable. I highly recommend this book.
