The legendary novel Journey to the West is one of the most famous classics of Chinese literature. There are no number of screen adaptations, theatrical productions, video games, anime series and various versions of this book. Its influence on the culture of East and West could be written in a separate volume, which would not be much shorter than the original work.
The novel is based on the legends of the journey of the Chinese monk Xuanzang and the Monkey King Sun Wu-kun to India for the sacred books. What incredible adventures the heroes do not experience! They fight with demons and heavenly forces, fool dragons and evil spirits, get to heaven and under the earth, overcome the most terrible traps and obstacles. At the same time, the book is an invaluable source of knowledge about ancient China: the reader gets acquainted with the life and life of emperors, dignitaries, military leaders, monks, craftsmen, learn in detail about the flora and fauna and, of course, about the numerous spirits, deities and demons that inhabited at that time every corner of the Celestial Empire.
The text is printed in full according to the four-volume book published in 1959 by the State Publishing House of Art Literature, and is accompanied by a full set (200 engravings) of original illustrations by two artists who lived in the Ming dynasty.
