ETERNAL MOMENTS: TALES FROM THE TAO Book

This important new series of illustrated spiritual classics takes a highly original approach to introduce these definitive texts to modern audiences, with the emphasis on poetic inspiration and beautiful design. The scope ranges widely over time and place, from the Upanishads of ancient India to the words and images of Japan's ukiyo-e - the "floating world." The introductions, providing invaluable background on history, belief, and interpretation, are provided by thinkers, writers, and artists who are renowned for communicating accessibly and imaginatively. The translations used are in a thoroughly readable modern idiom. Accompanying images are chosen for their evocative appropriateness.
