Three Kingdoms, A Historical Novel

Three Kingdoms, A Historical Novel

by Lo Kuan Chung  •  Moss Roberts (Translator)

  • ANTHOLOGY
  • 1990
  • PAPER
  • 500 PAGES

First published in the 14th-century, this epic saga is a compilation of fact and fiction based on ancient storytelling traditions. It's a fantastic tale of heroes and villains, monsters and wizards, fighting for the control of China during the last days of the Han Dynasty (150 AD). Much of the action centers on the middle and upper Yangtze -- and some familiarity with the rival kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu will much enhance your appreciation of a voyage along its banks. This abridged edition is translated and edited by Moss Roberts, who also translated the full three-volume edition.  (CHN57, $28.95)
