The Adventures of Monkey

Part of "Chinese Classics in English' series, “Monkey” is unique in its combination of beauty with absurdity, of profundity with nonsense. Folk-lore, allegory; religion, history, anti-bureaucratic satire and pure poetry – such are the singularly diverse elements out of which the book is compounded.
