The Monkey King: A One-Volume Translation of the Epic Chinese Novel, with an Illustrated Forward by the Author of American Born Chinese.

This thrilling new translation brings to life one of the all-time great fantasy novels, now published in a single volume for the first time ever.

With an illustrated foreword by the author of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel that is the basis for the Disney+ series American Born Chinese, starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu, as well as Daniel Wu as the Monkey King.

This epic tale follows Sun Wukong, or Monkey King, a shape-shifting trickster on a kung-fu quest for eternal life, as he amasses dazzling weapons and skills on his journey to immortality.

With a gold-hooped staff that can grow as tall as the sky and shrink to the size of a needle, the ability to travel 108,000 miles in a single somersault, and the power to transform himself into whomever or whatever he chooses, Monkey King is a force to be reckoned with.

But his penchant for mischief repeatedly gets him into trouble, and when he raids Heaven's Orchard of Immortal Peaches and gorges himself on the elixirs of the gods, the Buddha pins him beneath a mountain, freeing him only five hundred years later for a chance to redeem himself.

With a focus on action-packed adventure, humor, and heart, this one-volume translation is a must-read for fans of fantasy, mythology, and Chinese culture.
