I Ching by James Legge

The Book of Changes, as it is known in the Western world, dates back to before 1,000 B.C. and ranks among the most important works in the history of Chinese (or East Asian) culture. The ancient text has provided inspiration to countless spiritual seekers of many persuasions. This volume is the standard English translation by the great Sinologist James Legge, prepared for the series Sacred Books of the East. It contains the basic text attributed to King Wan and his son, the Duke of Chou, ten Appendixes usually ascribed to Confucius, an informative Foreword by Legge, and extensive footnotes.
