The Birth of the Monkey King BSM016

US$14.95

Journey to the West is one of the most well-known, popular classics in the Chinese literary world. It started off as a string of stories that developed over many centuries into the version we are familiar with today. This lively tale relates the amazing adventures of the priest Xuanzang as he travels westward in search of Buddhist sutras. With him are his three disciples: the irreverent but competent Monkey (Sun Wukong), the gluttonous Pig, and the dependable Friar Sand. The journey takes the foursome through all kinds of harrowing ordeals and exciting trials as they defend themselves against monsters and spirits hungry for a taste of the priest's flesh. The Birth of the Monkey King relates how Sun Wukong comes into existence in the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, and how he acquires magical powers and uses them for mischief before putting them to good use at the service of Xuanzang. Be entertained by Monkey's mischief and cleverness as he fights demons and monsters from underwater and the celestial realm.
