Monkey : folk novel of China / Wu Ch'eng-EnEntry/Object ID
PL2699 .M6 1958Description
This classic combination of picaresque novel and folk epic, which mixes satire, allegory and history into a rollicking tale, is probably the most popular book in the history of the Far East. It is the story of the roguish Monkey and his encounters with major and minor spirits, gods, demigods, demons, ogres, monsters and fairies. The present translation by Arthur Waley, the distinguished scholar, is the first accurate English version, making available to the Western reader a faithful reproduction of the spirit and meaning of the original. --Back coverCollection
