Tao and the City: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

More about the book

Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City, this translation of the Tao Te Ching merges ancient wisdom with contemporary urban life. Accompanied by Betsy Wyckoff's striking photographs that capture the city's essence—its lights, surfaces, and reflections—this edition offers a fresh perspective on the classic text. The juxtaposition of poetic verses and evocative imagery creates a contemplative experience, contrasting recent narratives of tragedy and heroism with a more introspective view of the city.
