Summary: "The Zhuangzi is one of China's greatest literary and philosophical masterpieces, yet its complexities make it a challenging read. This English translation leads you confidently through the comic scenes and virtuoso writing style, introducing all the little stories Zhuangzi invented and unpicking its philosophy through close commentaries and helpful asides. In Graziani's translation, the co-founder of Daoism emerges as a remarkable thinker. It is a must-read for anyone coming to Chinese philosophy or the Zhuangzi for the first time, and one that reminds us of the importance of thinking beyond our limited, everyday perspectives"-- Provided by publisher
Revised, updated and partly rewritten version of a book originally written in French and published in 2006 by the publishing house Gallimard for a general readership under the title Fictions philosophiques du Tchouang-tseu
