Cover doesn't matters as long as the content is fine.

>>8029966
then which one?

A little bit of time on google says Stephen Mitchell's translation is pretty well liked but no idea if that's true. There was a thread about this a week or so ago where some anons talked about it so probably worth checking archives.

That cover is like putting the Eiffel Tower on a book about Ireland

Could we talk about muh english copies of the book.

Not liking BASED Weöres. You are worthless szarposztoló kolléga

>>8032629
I liked it.I found it excellent
But reading an english translation sounds good in the case of ancient chinese philosophy,since it could change meaning úton útfélen.

Amúgy milyen ez a helikonos cucc, mármint a kiadás minősége? Mennyire hamar esik szét.Még nem volt a kezemben

Nem annyira rossz,bár nem tettem ki őket extrém körülményeknek.
A borítója kartonből van pl.tehát eléggé büdzsé kiadás.
De kibírnak 3-4 olvasást simán ha nem egy nemtörödőm gyökér vagy aki csak belebasz mindent a táskába.
De egy ezresért mit vársz?

A lábjegyzetek minősége változó,van amikor a lap aljára kerül és van amikor beteszik csak a végére,de van.

It's essentially the same as Lao-Tzu
It's just a translation.Don't get mad over it.

>lae ce
>tao te king

fuck off with these meme names

i make your mom feel

I don't know.

AC Graham's is the best translation of Zhuangzi.
>>
>>8032974
In fact, after googling, Victor Mair's looks like the best English translation.

Mitchell doesnt read Chinese, his is more a modern reinterpretation.
