I Ching

The bestselling translation of one of the world's great classics, now in a beautiful new edition

The well-known ancient Chinese oracle and sourcebook of Asian wisdom--now in a Shambhala Pocket Library edition.

The Yijing (I Ching) or "Book of Change" is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts and has held a key place in the Daoist tradition for thousands of years.

The I Chingor Book of Changesis a Chinese oracle; a tool of divination, the origins of which stretch back more than 3,000 years. Generations of diviners have asked the I Ching to answer their most burning questions and help them to negotiate relationships, decisions and dilemmas with poise and insight.

In a radically new translation and interpretation of the I Ching, David Hinton strips this ancient Chinese masterwork of the usual apparatus and discovers a deeply poetic and philosophical text.

An accessible introduction to the i-ching or 'book of changes', the ancient Chinese system of trigrams and hexagrams to give spiritual guidance for all kinds of dilemnas.
