In this volume, acclaimed comic-artist C. C. Tsai uses his virtuosic skill and sly humor to create an entertaining and enlightening full-color illustrated version of the Yi Jing—the book known as the I Ching in an older transcription—the ancient Chinese philosophical guide to predicting and navigating change. Fascinating and mysterious, this divination manual is one of the most influential and popular books of all time, and Tsai's comic adaptation—fun and serious, playful and profound—brings it to life like no other edition. This volume also features a fluid, modern translation of the Yi Jing and an introduction that provides philosophical background and instructions on how to use this oracular text.
The Yi Jing, or Book of Changes, is the Bible of change, a guidebook to how to live well in a world where change is everywhere. We've all asked ourselves, "Given my situation, what should I do next?" The Yi Jing breaks life down into sixty-four kinds of situations, each with six more possibilities—and provides advice on how to react appropriately. In the West, countless readers have appreciated the subtle wisdom and poetic suggestiveness of the Yi Jing, including Carl Jung, Hermann Hesse, Jorge Luis Borges, Philip K. Dick, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Allen Ginsberg.
A marvelous graphic version of a timeless classic, this volume will delight and enlighten anyone trying to chart their way through our world of constant change.
