Lao Tzu (-400)
Whatever your view on Eastern philosophy, this is a book worth reading for its poetry alone. This particular edition, with careful translations and wonderfully atmospheric accompanying photography, is a complete joy and a perfect encapsulation of the words.
5/5. Finished Sunday 9 March, 2014.
