A new translation and abridgement of one of the four classical Chinese novels, this is the epic story of the fall of the Han dynasty and rise of the Three Kingdoms.
Luo Guanzhong was a Chinese writer who lived probably during the
fourteenth century, during the Yuan and Ming periods. Very little
is known about his origins and life, but he is attributed with
writing The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and editing Outlaws of
the Marsh - the first two of the 'Four Great Classical Novels' of
Chinese literature.
