Benjamin Hoff

    1 gennaio 1946

    Hoff attinge profondamente da un affetto infantile per il mondo naturale, intrecciato con estesi studi sulla cultura e filosofia asiatica. La sua opera esplora temi di armonia, equilibrio e significato della vita con una grazia distintiva e meditativa, informata dal suo background artistico, musicale e in particolare taoista. Si concentra sullo svelare verità profonde attraverso la semplicità e la naturalezza, impiegando spesso allegorie e metafore. La sua scrittura invita i lettori a contemplare le intuizioni più profonde della vita nella quotidianità.

      The bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh offers a uniquely authentic translation of the enduring Tao Te Ching , based on the meanings of the ancient Chinese characters in use when the Taoist classic was written.From Benjamin Hoff, author of The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet, which have sold millions of copies worldwide, comes The Eternal Tao Te Ching , a new translation of the Chinese philosophical classic, the Tao Te Ching.The Eternal Tao Te Ching is the first translation to employ the meanings of the pre-writing brush characters in use 2,400 years ago, when the classic was written, rather than relying on the often-different meanings of the more modern brush characters, as other translations have done. Hoff points out in his chapter notes the many incidents of meddling and muddling that have been made over the centuries by scholars and copyists, and he corrects the mistakes and removes such tampering from the text. Hoff also makes the provocative claim—and demonstrates by revealing clues in the text—that the Tao Te Ching ’s author was a young nobleman hiding his identity, rather than the long-alleged author, the “Old Master” of legend, Lao-tzu. And Hoff’s chapter notes shed new light on the author’s surprisingly modern viewpoint. With a selection of lyrical color landscape photographs by the author, this is a unique, and uniquely accessible, presentation of the Tao Te Ching .
