Description

Book Synopsis

"Monkey: Folk Novel of China - The Illustrated Edition" is an exciting story about a mischievous and clever monkey named Monkey. He has magical powers and uses his wit to annoy and escape from gods and powerful beings. In this adventure, Monkey gets into trouble with the Celestial Emperor, the God of Venus, and others, but his biggest challenge comes when he faces the divine avenger, God Erlang, in an epic battle.

Monkey's daring antics include stealing divine peaches, swallowing golden pills of immortality, and taking a magical sword from the Dragon King. However, his mischief catches up with him, and he is finally tamed by the Buddha Ru Lai, who punishes him by imprisoning him in a mountain for 500 years.

This classic sixteenth-century novel is incredibly popular in the Far East. It combines elements of a funny adventure story with elements of satire, allegory, and history. Monkey's encounters with various spirits, gods, demons, and fairies make it an exciting and entertaining tale.
