This novel is a gem of Chinese classical prose. It was written more than three hundred years ago and has become an integral part of world culture. The historical core of the plot is the journey of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang to India for the sacred sutras. ...The real journey is amazingly intertwined with fantastic details. Original plot moves, battles with demons and werewolves are colored with humor, which gives the narrative a special lightness. The image of one of the heroes of the story, Sun Woo-kun, the Monkey King, has taken a firm place in modern mass culture. The journey of the Buddhist monk and his friends continues in cartoons and musicals. Wu Chen-en has created a novel that will be read by generations of readers.
