Description: | Select Guide Rating Translated into English for the first time here, the Sanguozhi pinghua Romance ( Sanguo yanyi )-and beautifully rendered in this edition by two modern-day masters of the art of Chinese literary translation- Records of the Three Kingdoms in Plain Language provides an ideal introduction to one of the foundational Chinese epic traditions. The saga of the Three Kingdoms—which recounts the dramatic story of the civil wars (ca. 180–220 CE) that divided the old Han Empire into the Shu, Wei, and Wu states—remains as popular as ever in China, having served as the basis of not only traditional operas and ballads, but also, in more recent years, of movies, television dramas, and video games. |
