Hardback. Alison Waley, The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: No markingsCondition remarks: Tears along folds of jacket. Born from a stone egg and imbued with celestial mischief, the irrepressible Monkey King embarks on a journey that defies both heaven and earth. This compelling abridgment of Wu Ch'eng-en's monumental epic, Journey to the West, distills the sprawling narrative into a focused adventure. Guided by the acclaimed translation of Arthur Waley and meticulously abridged by Alison Waley, the story follows the titular hero-a master of magic and mayhem-as he unites with his companions to secure sacred scriptures, navigating a world populated by demons, deities, and destiny itself. This edition serves as a quintessential entry point into one of the most significant works of Chinese literature. Alison Waley's editorial hand ensures the narrative remains accessible while preserving the lyrical wit and philosophical undertones that defined Arthur Waley's seminal translation. Rich with the imaginative flair of the original folklore, this 1973 Bobbs-Merrill release captures the enduring spirit of the Monkey King, rendering a timeless myth into a vibrant, fast-paced tale that continues to resonate with modern readers and collectors of mid-century literary classics.
