Zhuangzi: The Complete Writings

Brook Ziporyn is Professor of Chinese Philosophy, Religion, and Comparative Thought at the University of Chicago.

"More than any other translation, Ziporyn's style manages to convey the playfulness, exuberance, and strangeness of the original text while maintaining a level of precision that allows for careful study and philosophical analysis. There are no perfect translations, but it is hard to imagine that a translation of the Zhuangzi can get any better than this one."—Franklin Perkins, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa
