Sinossi
Noto anche come Viaggio in Occidente, Monkey di Wu Ch'źng-źn č uno dei quattro grandi romanzi classici della letteratura cinese, tradotto da Arthur Waley in Penguin Classics. Monkey racconta le avventure del principe Tripitaka, un giovane prete buddista in un pericoloso pellegrinaggio in India per recuperare le sacre scritture accompagnato dai suoi tre discepoli ribelli: l'avida creatura maiale Pipsy, il mostro del fiume Sandy e Monkey. Nato da un uovo di pietra e dotato dei segreti del cielo e della terra, l'irrefrenabile imbroglione Monkey puņ cavalcare le nuvole, diventare invisibile e trasformarsi in altre forme, abilitą che si rivelano molto utili quando i quattro viaggiatori si imbattono in draghi, banditi, demoni e maghi malvagi che minacciano di impedirglielo nella loro ricerca. Wu Ch'źng-źn scrisse Monkey a metą del XVI secolo, aggiungendo il suo stile distintivo a un'antica leggenda cinese e, cosģ facendo, creņ una combinazione abbagliante di assurditą e profonditą, commedia farsesca e saggezza spirituale. La traduzione umoristica ed energica di Arthur Waley č accompagnata da un'introduzione che discute il contesto storico e leggendario della storia, i suoi elementi di satira anti-burocratica e la natura allegorica dei suoi personaggi. Si sa molto poco di Wu Ch'źng-źn (c.1505-80), anche se si ritiene che abbia ricoperto la carica di Magistrato distrettuale per un periodo. Aveva la reputazione di essere un buon poeta, ma solo alcuni suoi versi piuttosto comuni sopravvivono in un'antologia di poesie Ming e in un dizionario geografico locale. Se ti č piaciuto Monkey, potresti apprezzare The Analects di Confucio, disponibile anche in Penguin Modern Classics.

Informazioni sull?autore
Very little is known about Wu Ch-eng-en (c. 1505-80) although he is believed to have held the post of District Magistrate for a time. He had a reputation as a good poet but only a few rather commonplace verses of his survive in an anthology of Ming poetry and in a local gazetteer.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Also known as Journey to the West, Wu Ch'źng-źn's Monkey is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature, translated by Arthur Waley in Penguin Classics. 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'źng-źn 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. Arthur Waley's humorous and energetic translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the story's background in history and legend, its elements of anti-bureaucratic satire and the allegorical nature of its characters Very little is known about Wu Ch'źng-źn (c.1505-80) although he is believed to have held the post of District Magistrate for a time.
