The Daodejing, a foundational text of Chinese civilization, has fascinated people around the world. Yet, it remains as mysterious as it is compelling.

In this translation, Ian Felton brings the poetry and depth of Laozi's work into the 21st century, while retaining the timeless quality that provides value, guidance, and meaning for so many who read it.

The Daodejing can be read in a day, but it takes a lifetime to embody. The translator hopes that this version can be read again and again by those seeking connection to the timeless in a world that now resembles the chaos of Laozi's time.
