Editorial Reviews:
Review:"There is nothing quite like 'Monkey' in Western literature. Imagine a combination of picaresque novel, fairy tale, fable, Mickey Mouse, Davy Crockett, and 'Pilgrim's Progress'; and then imagine, if you can, all these elements welded into an artistic whole so that no matter how fantastic the adventure or how enigmatic the allegory, the characterization and meaning remain always human and realizable."

Monkey (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780140441116) Wu, Cheng'En;Waley, Arthur Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 1973. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Monkey depicts the adventures of Prince Tripitaka, a young Buddhist priest on a dangerous pilgrimage to India to retrieve sacred scriptures accompanied by his three unruly disciples: the greedy pig creature Pipsy, the river monster Sandy and Monkey. Hatched from a stone egg and given the secrets of heaven and earth, the irrepressible trickster Monkey can ride on the clouds, become invisible and transform into other shapes skills that prove very useful when the four travellers come up against the dragons, bandits, demons and evil wizards that threaten to prevent them in their quest. Wu Ch'eng-en wrote Monkey in the mid-sixteenth century, adding his own distinctive style to an ancient Chinese legend, and in so doing created a dazzling combination of nonsense with profundity, slapstick comedy with spiritual wisdom.
