Overview: Journey to the West is a classic Chinese mythological novel. It was written during the Ming Dynasty based on traditional folktales. Consisting of 100 chapters, this fantasy relates the adventures of Tang Dynasty (618-907) priest Sanzang and his three disciples Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Friar Sand, as they travel west in search of Buddhist Sutra. The first seven chapters recount the birth of the Monkey King and his rebellion against Heaven. Then in chapters eight to twelve, we learn how Sanzang was born and why he is searching for the scriptures, as well as his preparations for the journey. The rest of the story describes how they vanquish demons and monsters, tramp over the Fiery Mountain, cross the Milky Way, and after overcoming many dangers, finally arrive at their destination—the Thunder Monastery in the Western Heaven—and find the Sutra.
Known for its highly readable, entertaining and more accessible prose, Jenner’s translation of Journey to the West is now available for the first time in one complete volume, filled with two different sets of illustrations you can choose—no less than 180 each!
