Extended description

Long ago, along a stretch of a river deep and wide but far away from the consciousness or imagination of anyone outside All Under Heaven (China), a battle was fought that determined whether or not the Empire would remain united for the next four hundred years.

This book retells selections (translated by the author) from the great classic, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that described that battle and more. This novel combines fascinating characters in action as well as classic ideas in conflict, battle scenes, deception and earnest debate; there is even a marriage arranged to entrap the Loyalist leader.

It weaves together stories, drama, poetry--events and episodes that have engrossed Asian readers and listeners for the last seventeen centuries. Above all, it demonstrates why this classic has been valued as the best introduction to Chinese classical thought.
