RM74.17 MYR
Three Kingdoms : A Historical Novel. Abridged Edition - Thryft
Three Kingdoms : A Historical Novel. Abridged Edition - Thryft

Chinese national epic capturing warring kingdoms.

This book would be a great read for history enthusiasts who are particularly interested in Chinese culture and its national epic. The abridged edition gives just enough detail to provide insight into power, diplomacy, and war in Three Kingdoms. It is a great option for undergraduate courses or for those who want to familiarize themselves with the novel without reading the complete text.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Великая историческая эпопея «Троецарствие» возглавляет список «Четырех классических романов» — наиболее знаменитых китайских произведений XIV—XVIII веков. В Китае это, пожалуй, самая популярная и любимая книга, но и на Западе «Троецарствие» до сих пор считается наиболее популярным китайским романом. В нем изображены события, относящиеся к III веку нашей эры, когда Китай распался на три самостоятельных царства, непрерывно воевавших между собой. Впрочем, «историческим» роман можно назвать с натяжкой: скорее, это невероятное переплетение множества сюжетов (читатель найдет здесь описания военных сражений, интриг, борьбы за власть, любовных перипетий и многого другого), где историческая достоверность сочетается с мифами и легендами Древнего Китая. В настоящем издании текст печатается по двухтомнику, выпущенному Государственным издательством художественной литературы в 1954 году, и сопровождается комментариями и классическими иллюстрациями китайских художников.
