Information About
This timeless book has continued to enthrall generations of readers and has established itself as a modern classic. Offered as a remedy to modern-day living is the classic distillation of Chinese wisdom - revere inaction as much as action, observe the place of humour to ensure healthy living, and simply celebrate existence. Gaily serious, cynically kind, shot through with a sense of comedy and backed by sages of many centuries, it brings forth the salt and tang of life.
