A new, highly readable translation of the Zhunangzi -- the single most important source for early Daoist philosophy.
''Forget the years, forget norms, let yourself be stirred by the boundless.''The Zhuangzi -- an anthology of anonymous writings produced in China between the fourth and second centuries BC -- is one of the world''s great literary treasures and the single most important source for early Daoist philosophy.
