Anthony C. Yu's celebrated translation of "The Journey to the West" reinvigorated one of Chinese literature's most beloved classics for English-speaking audiences when it first appeared thirty years ago. Yu's abridgment of his four-volume translation, "The Monkey and the Monk," finally distills the epic novel's most exciting and meaningful episodes without taking anything away from their true spirit.
These fantastic episodes recount the adventures of Xuanzang, a seventh-century monk who became one of China's most illustrious religious heroes after traveling for sixteen years in search of Buddhist scriptures. Powerfully combining religious allegory with humor, fantasy, and satire, accounts of Xuanzang's journey were passed down for a millennium before culminating in the sixteenth century with "The Journey to the West." Now, readers of "The Monkey and the Monk" can experience the full force of his lengthy quest as he travels to India with four animal disciples, most significant among them a guardian-monkey known as "the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven." Moreover, in its newly streamlined form, this acclaimed translation of a seminal work of world literature is sure to attract an entirely new following of students and fans.
"A new translation of a major literary text which totally supersedes the best existing version. . . . It establishes beyond contention the position of "The Journey to the West" in world literature, while at the same time throwing open wide the doors to interpretive study on the part of the English audience."--"Modern Language Notes," on the unabridged translation

評分還是舊作一篇,寫在2012年春天之前。 ———————————— 四大名著中《西遊記》我讀得最不熟,因為總覺得《西遊記》是四大名著中無論內容還是文筆都不甚好的一部,加上情節熱鬧滑稽而又重復雷同,影視和動畫片又那麼多,其中也不乏經典,那些怪力亂神的內容,畢竟用影視...
評分說說我自己的一點感受 這本書放在手機裏一直讀瞭三個月纔讀完的. 西遊記中很多事情都值得思考, 1.孫悟空大鬧天宮的時候很是厲害誰也打不過,怎麼打都打不死.但是一跟瞭唐僧就萎瞭.很多人說猴子從野生變成傢養的之後能力就下降瞭,其實我不這麼認為.就拿太上老君來說其實他那裏有...

藉著中國曆史課的機緣終於讀完瞭英文縮減版的西遊記,湊閤著中文版一起讀著感覺還不錯呢。在英文版裏很多人物都失去瞭幼年動畫裏那種調皮搗蛋的形象,顯得極為嚴肅和真實人,而本書的刪節也將孫悟空的形象更好的放大和突齣,何謂真大聖,相比愚昧的唐僧不知有趣好玩多少。雖然內心抵觸很多詩詞、術語的翻譯,但也知道外人能翻譯齣來實屬不易。越是讀越是感覺到中文與中華文化的博大精深吧,也隻能感慨到這種程度瞭 Truly Impressed Me. Christine.
