In an environment where everything becomes politicized and, for commercial reasons, platitudinized, Yasuhiko Genku Kimura’s new translation of the ancient Tao Teh Ching is a notable exception. It is as clear and readable as can be wished for. On every page the reader will encounter that special and exciting glow found only when an author truly loves his subject. This engagingly written presentation is both inspiriting by letting the reader's mind soar, and restraining by not letting him lose the ground under his feet. It deserves to be read widely.
