Writing some twelve hundred years later, the Ming author Luo Guanzhong drew on histories, dramas, and poems portraying the crisis to fashion a sophisticated, compelling narrative that has become the Chinese national epic. This abridged edition captures the novel's intimate and unsparing view of how power is wielded, how diplomacy is conducted, and how wars are planned and fought. As important for Chinese culture as the Homeric epics have been for the West, this Ming dynasty masterpiece continues to be widely influential in China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam and remains a great work of world literature.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: HistoryBook Series: World Literature in TranslationTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
