Brilliant, mystical, pragmatic, and witty, Chuang Tsu has been called the world's first anarchist by some. Even 2,000 years after his death, his provocative Taoist text remains in the forefront of ancient Chinese philosophical study. An essential sourcebook in the Taoist canon, the sublime prose of this spiritual classic provides a profound and paradoxical commentary to the Tao Te Ching.

I find this narration of the Zhuangzi absolutely brilliant and I want to thank Audible for making it available!!!!!! I highly recommend it. HOWEVER, the translation itself is not so good, sadly.. for example, listen to the story of the butterfly and how it is ruined in this translation

Some narrators detract from a written work. Not this fellow. He's great. I'm so glad I listened to this work before I read it. Now I will have his wonderful voice ringing in my ears as I read.

Whenever I am stressed I hear him say "Ah, don't worry about it." And it really helps. Like a good friend.

I don't know his name. Maybe that's okay. I think of his voice as Zhuangzi's. Laozi says the sage does his job and the people don't even know he is there.

Another excellent narrator of Taoist works is the translator and narrator (and in my opinion another real sage) Stephen Mitchell. His Second Book of the Tao, which includes much from Zhuangzi, includes the story of the cripple Shu (this present work also does). You should listen to Mitchells version too if you can.

In Mitchell's version Shu seems to me cracking a joke when he wonders if his arm will turn into a bow so he can catch a duck for dinner and if his arse will turn into a chariot so he never has to have horses again. The image is hilarious to me. I laughed out loud the first time I heard this story. This version, while joyful in almost every verse, does not carry the same feeling at this point. It's a little more serious in tone, so I do recommend Mitchell's two books on the Tao if you enjoyed this one.

Well translated and well read.

My only gripe is I felt as if the last chapter would have been better as an introduction and feel that maybe it was intended to be.
