About This Item

Hong Kong: The Commercial Press (H.K.) Ltd., 1994. 1st Edition 1st Published in: March 1994/Abridged Edition . Trade Paperback. Like New. 8vo or 8° (Medium Octavo): 7¾" x 9¾" tall. 477 pp. A rare, hard-to-find, out-of-print, scarce, true collectible gem! A wonderful copy! An excellent, spotlessly clean copy! Clean, fresh, sharp, tight, essentially and virtually flawless copy with crisp pages, clean text, and very light shelf wear. Publisher's Note: This is a complete three-volume translation of the Chinese edition of "Journey to the West" in 100 chapters published in 1955 by the Beijing People's Literature Publishing House. A well-known mythological novel based on folk tales, "Journey to the West" was probably put into its present form in the 1570s by Wu Cheng'en (1500-82). Many different editions of the novel have appeared over the past 400 years. The Chinese edition of 1955 was based on the earliest known edition, the Shidetang woodblock edition printed in Nanjing in the 20th year of Wanli reign (1592) in the Ming Dynasty, and was further checked against six different editions from the Qing Dynasty. The illustrations were selected from a lithographic edition ('New Edition of Pictures for Journey to the West') published in the 14th year (1888) of the Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (Taken verbatim from the book).

Synopsis
