Publisher Description: A contemporary graphic novel adaptation of a spiritual classic. This graphic-novel version of the Tao Te Ching--the poetic classic that is the philosophical and religious basis of Taoism--brings the teachings into a modern light in a completely fresh and unique way. Each of the 81 poem-passages of the Tao Te Ching is reinterpreted by award-winning graphic novel writer Sean Michael Wilson and brought to life by the artful illustrations of Hong Kong artist Cary Kwok, who sets the text in various contemporary scenes to bring out the modern relevance. |
