the wake of the success of the online version of 101 Zen Stories
(with text written from top to bottom, from right to left) and also a transliteration
Pinyin
compared with the original.
All these text contributions have been checked and are therefore reliable with no problems.
This time, since there are three versions for each chapter (the Italian original and transliterated) I implemented a system of keyboard navigation to streamline the consultation.
The player has everything to offer under the fingers of his right hand: with the key 'or' leads to '
riginale or Chinese, with' i 'to the version
Taliani, with the' p 'transliteration
p
inyin, while with 'k' and 'l' you go back or forward in the chapters, and with 'j' to return to index. I find it very comfortable, then each judge for himself.This book is truly a masterpiece of concision, strength and rhythm. Just take a look to realize the transliterated version of the harmonies and rhythms on which the text is based, with sounds for us obsolete but no less able to penetrate deeply. And when these rhythms are broken, open free sections of great strength. You
course there is also a more traditional navigation with links to death, but hidden behind a symbol, because my intention was to let the text breathe as much as possible, let it shine his everlasting force that remains unchanged for millennia.
always difficult (if not impossible) to make available the original spirit of a work when it is translated into other languages. This operation is almost impossible for the Tao Te Ching, given its nature obscure and elliptical, but it is hoped that this version is so complete, however, can convey the adventurous reader something concrete.
