Born from a stone egg and imbued with celestial mischief, the irrepressible Monkey King embarks on a journey that defies both heaven and earth. This compelling abridgment of Wu Ch'eng-en's monumental epic, Journey to the West, distills the sprawling narrative into a focused adventure. Guided by the acclaimed translation of Arthur Waley and meticulously abridged by Alison Waley, the story follows the titular hero-a master of magic and mayhem-as he unites with his companions to secure sacred scriptures, navigating a world populated by demons, deities, and destiny itself.
