Description
The Journey to the West, Revised Edition, Volume 4 by Anthony C. Yu is a translation of the classic Chinese novel that tells the story of Xuanzang's fourteen-year pilgrimage in search of Buddhist scriptures. Along the way, he faces numerous challenges and encounters supernatural beings, making for an adventure rich with danger and excitement. This seminal work of Chinese literature has been a complex text to render in English, but Yu's revised edition brings it into sharper focus. The explanatory notes have been updated, and new material has been added to the introduction, drawing on Yu's original research as well as recent literary criticism and scholarship on Chinese religious traditions. With its elegant rendering, this translation is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature but also a pleasure to read for anyone interested in exploring the rich world of Chinese literature.
