TAOISM

Called a first rate piece of work by T.S. Eliot, this book offers a comprehensive discussion of Taoism, one of the worlds major religions, as well as a study of the Tao te ching, the best known Taoist text and Lao-tzu as a Taoist prototype. Clarifies a large area of literature and history that has been a mystery to the West and makes fascinating reading even for those whose interest is casual. -The New Yorker_,
