Résumé
Written in the sixteenth century, "The Journey to the West "tells the story of the fourteen-year pilgrimage of the monk Xuanzang, one of China's most famous religious heroes, and his three supernatural disciples, in search of Buddhist scriptures. Throughout his journey, Xuanzang fights demons who wish to eat him, communes with spirits, and traverses a land riddled with a multitude of obstacles, both real and fantastical. An adventure rich with danger and excitement, this seminal work of the Chinese literary canonis by turns allegory, satire, and fantasy. With over a hundred chapters written in both prose and poetry, "The Journey to the West "has always been a complicated and difficult text to render in English while preserving the lyricism of its language and the content of its plot. One of the great works of Chinese literature, "The Journey to the West "is not only invaluable to scholars of Eastern religion and literature but also a delight for any reader.
