Called "a first rate piece of work" by T.S. Eliot, this book offers a comprehensive discussion of Taoism, one of the world's major religions, as well as a study of the Tao te ching, the best known Taoist text and Lao-tzu as a Taoist prototype.
"Clarifies a large area of literature and history that has been a mystery to the West and makes fascinating reading even for those whose interest is casual."
