Monkey King Makes Havoc in Heaven

Wu Cheng''en''s 16th-century novel Journey to the West is widely regarded as one of the most important Chinese novels ever written. Here, in Julia Lovell''s witty and charismatic translation, we meet one of its heroes: Sun Wukong, or Monkey King, whose powers include shape-shifting, immortality and being incredibly rude. Though he rises to a position of power in the heavenly bureaucracy, Monkey King''s arrogant exploits attract the attention of the Buddha - with very unfortunate consequences.>
