Reviews
"[C. C. Tsai's] books are awe-inspiring. His line is elegant; his characters are sharply drawn; his humor is sly and appropriate; and his subject is profound. This is cartooning of the highest order." --Larry Gonick, author of The Cartoon History of the Universe, "The English translation of C. C. Tsai's comic version of the Zhuangzi is such a special thing. . . . [this comic version] with the visual dimension that brings the reader directly into the world of the ancients, is both for the sinologist and for the lay reader alike, [is] a very enjoyable book - and that is what is should be." ---Bart Dessein, Journal of the European Association for Chinese Studies, "C. C. Tsai's popular cartoon adaptations of the Chinese classics are original and uniquely accessible." --Mark Csikszentmihalyi, University of California, Berkeley, "C. C. Tsai's popular cartoon adaptations of the Chinese classics are original and uniquely accessible." 'e"Mark Csikszentmihalyi, University of California, Berkeley, "C. C. Tsai's introductions to the world of Chinese thought and spirituality are masterpieces. His drawings are charming, clever, and engaging; his texts are clear and faithful to the spirit of the originals; and Brian Bruya's translations are fluid and accurate." --Stephen C.

Synopsis
A delightfully illustrated selection of the great Daoist writings of Zhuangzi by bestselling cartoonist C. C. Tsai C. C. Tsai is one of Asia's most popular cartoonists, and his editions of the Chinese classics have sold more than 40 million copies in over twenty languages. This volume presents Tsai's delightful graphic adaptation of the profound and humorous Daoist writings of Zhuangzi, some of the most popular and influential in the history of Asian philosophy and culture. The Way of Nature brings together all of Tsai's beguiling cartoon illustrations of the Zhuangzi , which takes its name from its author. The result is a uniquely accessible and entertaining adaptation of a pillar of classical Daoism, which has deeply influenced Chinese poetry, landscape painting, martial arts, and Chan (Zen) Buddhism. Irreverent and inspiring, The Way of Nature presents the memorable characters, fables, and thought experiments of Zhuangzi like no other edition, challenging readers to dig beneath conventional assumptions about self, society, and nature, and pointing to a more natural way of life. Through practical insights and far-reaching arguments, Zhuangzi shows why returning to the spontaneity of nature is the only sane response to a world of conflict. A marvelous introduction to a timeless classic, this book also features an illuminating foreword by Edward Slingerland. In addition, Zhuangzi's original Chinese text is artfully presented in narrow sidebars on each page, enriching the book for readers and students of Chinese without distracting from the self-contained English-language cartoons. The text is skillfully translated by Brian Bruya, who also provides an introduction., A delightfully illustrated selection of the great Daoist writings of Zhuangzi by bestselling cartoonist C. C.
