Показать описание
One of the Four Great Chinese novels, and a worldwide cultural phenomenon, this 16th-century retelling of an ancient Chinese folk tale combines spiritual wisdom and legend with a large dose of humour, making it the ultimate adult fantasy adventure.

Drawing influence from folk-art, and with a particular interest in Chinese scroll paintings and Japanese prints, Chinese-American artist Mu Pan was the perfect artist to illustrate Wu Ch’eng-en's story. This edition also includes a specially commissioned foldout map, which leads the reader along Monkey’s adrenalin-filled adventures. Chinese history expert Frances Wood has written a new introduction which is both a celebration of the novel and a fascinating precis of ancient Chinese literature and Monkey’s role in it.

Journey to the West is an incredibly long work (usually released in multiple volumes) but this doesn't look very long at all. Is it a heavily abridged version?
