The main body of the book is a fresh translation of the \u003cem\u003eDào Dé Jīng \u003c\/em\u003e(Tao Te Ching) that incorporates images from the pictorial scripts Laozi (Lao Tzu) would have used. These pictures add layers to any classic translation of Laozi's message. Perhaps they even provide glimpses into his world. In fact, the second part of this book, presented as editorial comments by Laozi himself, is a work of historical fiction imagining that Laozi hid his own autobiography inside those images. It's the story of the person underneath Laozi's beard-someone who started out in desperate need of a disguise and ended up discovering and distilling profound wisdom that would last for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betsy Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1735793191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781735793191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunwarmed Sage Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.59d","brand":"Betsy Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874499408127,"sku":"9781735793191","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-in-plain-sight-betsy-pearson-9781735793191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
