The book of the path

The famous ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu went down in history as the founder of the teachings of Taoism and the author of the treatise "Book of the Way" (Tao De Jin)
created more than two thousand years ago, this outstanding monument of Chinese wisdom is still of great importance for the whole world. To date, in terms of the number of translations into foreign languages, it is second only to the Bible.
In our publication, the treatise is presented in two translations: Japanese scientist D.P. Konissy, made with the help of L. N. Tolstoy in 1894, and the wonderful poet of the Silver Age Konstantin Balmont.
In addition, the collection includes popular studies of Konissi and other authors about the personality and philosophy of Lao Tzu, aphorisms of Chinese sages, as well as the sayings of Lao Tzu, translated into Russian by L. N. Tolstoy.
For many centuries, the "Book of the Way" teaches people to simple truths: to live in modesty, in harmony with the world, without harming anyone and avoiding the temptations that are destructive for the fragile human soul
