I CHING: EL LIBRO DE LAS MUTACIONES CON TRES MONEDAS Paperback – January 1, 2000

I've reached this book through reading lots of science fiction novels. When I first acquired it, I made the right choice of reading the preface. That's a good point to start, particularly with this book. It puts the book into context, and gives several good advices about how to affront it's reading. After that, I gave it a sequential read, which proved hard, but now that I can see it in perspective, It helped me to see the whole range of descriptions, and to understand with lots of examples, how it manages the metaphors. A good thing to point is that the index is placed at the end, so if the reader wants to give it a selective read, or to use it as dictionary, that's the first place to go.About the contents, I can just say it is amazing. For every symbol read and understood, it can be found in several situations experienced during the day. The descriptions are wise, and all appeared to me as being deeply rooted into reality.It can seem a fair radical opinion, but I want to make a strong advice: It has it's counterbacks, the biggest being the context. This is a book that needs to be interpreted using the experiences the reader could have lived until the start of the reading, always taking into account the difference of the context in which it was written, with nowadays. It cannot be taken as is, or some strange or unpleasant conclusions could be made.My preferred way of using it is as a kind of "diagnostic book": at the end of the day, I pick it, and open it randomly. I read the symbol appeared, and spend some time thinking about it, and trying to relate it with something happened during the day. I just can say it helps!

Esta edición de la Editorial Sudamericana, es sin lugar a dudas la mejor versión en Español de este afamado libro que se ha publicado en los últimos 25 años, no solo por el poema de Jorge Luis Borges, sino por el prólogo de C.G. Jung (el padre del psicoanálisis) que nos permite comprender la acertividad de los concejos del libro en su relación con el azar.La traducción al Español desde el Alemán (primera lengua europea en traducir del chino mandarin), es magistral y esta corregida y avalada por el hijo del traductor original y de uno de los más eminentes eruditos de ese periódo (Lao Nai-hsuan). Magnifico!
