Anthony C. Yu's celebrated translation of "The Journey to the West" reinvigorated one of Chinese literature's most beloved classics for English-speaking audiences when it first appeared thirty years ago. Yu's abridgment of his four-volume translation, "The Monkey and the Monk," finally distills the epic novel's most exciting and meaningful episodes without taking anything away from their true spirit.
These fantastic episodes recount the adventures of Xuanzang, a seventh-century monk who became one of China's most illustrious religious heroes after traveling for sixteen years in search of Buddhist scriptures. Powerfully combining religious allegory with humor, fantasy, and satire, accounts of Xuanzang's journey were passed down for a millennium before culminating in the sixteenth century with "The Journey to the West." Now, readers of "The Monkey and the Monk" can experience the full force of his lengthy quest as he travels to India with four animal disciples, most significant among them a guardian-monkey known as "the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven." Moreover, in its newly streamlined form, this acclaimed translation of a seminal work of world literature is sure to attract an entirely new following of students and fans.
"A new translation of a major literary text which totally supersedes the best existing version. . . . It establishes beyond contention the position of "The Journey to the West" in world literature, while at the same time throwing open wide the doors to interpretive study on the part of the English audience."--"Modern Language Notes," on the unabridged translation

读后感
还是旧作一篇，写在2012年春天之前。 ———————————— 四大名著中《西游记》我读得最不熟，因为总觉得《西游记》是四大名著中无论内容还是文笔都不甚好的一部，加上情节热闹滑稽而又重复雷同，影视和动画片又那么多，其中也不乏经典，那些怪力乱神的内容，毕竟用影视...
评分 评分世人都说菩萨救苦救难，其实菩萨也很小气，也很信奉an eye for an eye的信条。话说唐僧一行到乌鸡国，该国国王三年前已经被妖怪推入井中枉死，妖怪则自己假冒国王，孙悟空使计要猪八戒下井背出国王尸体，然后就是降妖除魔了。谁知半路杀出个文殊菩萨，这妖怪原是文殊座下青毛狮...
评分很多人说，《西游记》是一本官场小说。只不过它实在没有现在的官场小说那么赤裸，更像神话、动画和儿童故事。前几天在中央六套无疑看到了1964年上影的《大闹天宫》，大概是从中场开始看的，看到尾。孙悟空在炼丹炉里练成了金刚不坏之身，砸了天宫，回了花果山，开心得不行。完...
评分（本帖为转载，原作者不详。若侵犯了您的版权，请告知，谢谢） 一部《西游记》，妖魔鬼怪层出不穷，其形象或面目狰狞，或欺软怕硬，几乎没有哪一个能够叫人喜爱或同情，唯独读到57、58回的真假美猴王时，心理总会涌起一种异样的感觉。 假美猴王时一个六耳猕猴，他神通广大，变...

评分借着中国历史课的机缘终于读完了英文缩减版的西游记，凑合着中文版一起读着感觉还不错呢。在英文版里很多人物都失去了幼年动画里那种调皮捣蛋的形象，显得极为严肃和真实人，而本书的删节也将孙悟空的形象更好的放大和突出，何谓真大圣，相比愚昧的唐僧不知有趣好玩多少。虽然内心抵触很多诗词、术语的翻译，但也知道外人能翻译出来实属不易。越是读越是感觉到中文与中华文化的博大精深吧，也只能感慨到这种程度了 Truly Impressed Me. Christine.
