    Il viaggio in Occidente
    • "Racconto del viaggio in occidente" è un classico della letteratura cinese, appartenente al gruppo dei quattro grandi romanzi classici. Sulla cima di una montagna sacra, un magico uovo di pietra si schiude e dà alla luce uno scimmiotto astuto, veloce, indicibilmente forte e del tutto irrispettoso delle gerarchie. Per questa ragione, l'imperatore Celeste tenta di imbrigliarlo, prima con le lusinghe, poi con la forza. Ma Son Goku non ha bisogno di catene, bensì di una guida, ed è per questo che il monaco errante Sanzo Hoshi lo porta con sé in una grande avventura attraverso l'Oriente misterioso, che metterà alla prova il suo spirito indomito. Armato di un Bastone Magico e in sella alla sua Nuvola d'Oro volante, Son Goku affronta mille sfide insieme ai suoi compagni di viaggio, il maiale trasformista Cho Hakkai e lo spirito acquatico Sa Gojo.

      Monkey King
    • This classic Chinese epic features a new introduction by Daniel Kane, Head of Chinese Studies at Macquarie University and Cultural Counselor at the Australian Embassy in Beijing in 1996. China's most famous traditional novel, The Monkey King's Amazing Adventures is the story of the Monkey King, his incredible origin and downfall, and his epic quest to redeem himself with his trusted companions, as they face fantastic foes, demons, and monsters and have amazing adventures in their travels to the Western paradise. No matter what obstacle was put before him, the talented, wily Monkey King always got what he wanted—unimaginable strength, eternal life, even a position in the Celestial Realm with the gods. But more than anything else, the Monkey King loved mischief and rule-breaking, and he was sure that he was the most powerful creature in the world. But after defeat and punishment, the Monkey King found himself wanting some things he never expected: to be good enough and have the discipline to help the monk Xuanzang on his mission to bring Buddhist Scriptures—and enlightenment—to China. Readers will thrill to Timothy Richard's retelling of the Monkey King's exploits—he never disappoints, whether in the Dragon King's underwater castle, the Halls of the Dead, or the palace of Buddha himself—and find themselves captivated as he joins Xuanzang and his other trusted companions, the Dragon Horse, the Monk Sand, and the equally mischievous Pig on the dangerous trek West.

      The Journey to the West, volume 4, comprises the last twenty-five chapters of Anthony C. Yu's four-volume translation of Hsi-yu Chi, one of the most beloved classics of Chinese literature. The fantastic tale recounts the sixteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Hsüan-tsang (596-664), one of China's most illustrious religious heroes, who journeyed to India with four animal disciples in quest of Buddhist scriptures. For nearly a thousand years, his exploits were celebrated and embellished in various accounts, culminating in the hundred-chapter Journey to the West, which combines religious allegory with romance, fantasy, humor, and satire.
