The Making of Monkey King
小石猴稱王 By Robert Kraus & Debby Chen / Wenhai Ma for ages 5-9 1998 Based on a sixteenth century classic–Journey to the West–here the Monkey sets off on a journey to find the secret of immortality. Scholars continue to ponder the allegorical richness of the Monkey King. His self-awareness is symbolic of human progress and enlightenment, while his vanity and mischievousness is often seen as the embodiment of restless genius. Some consider him as a rebel spirit defying the authority of both god and man. Today, the "Journey to the West" remains one of the "four pillars" of Chinese literature, and is equally well known in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. An excellent bilingual book for children wanting to learn a big part of Chinese classic legend story, "Monkey King." Price: $16.95 Out of Print. Please do not order.
