Book Overview: It is a gem of a work following on the Chuang Tzu, in a somewhat darker tone, yet punctuated with a most extraordinary humor. The modernity of this text... is astonishing...[A.C. Graham] is one of the most distinguished Sinologists working today. -- Irene Bloom, Columbia University

Media Reviews

The Lieh-tzu ranks with the Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu as one of the most eloquent and influential expositions of Taois philosophy. This definitive translation by Professor Graham does full justice to the subtlety of thought and literary effectiveness of the text. -- Burton Watson
