The Liezi 列子

There are fewer English translations of the Liezi than other Taoist texts. The first were partial versions; Lionel Giles (1912) translated chapters 1–6 and 8, while Anton Forke (1912) covered chapter 7 ("Yang Zhu"). Contrary to the introduction this is a combination of both translations. An original production only on YouTube.
