Considered one of China's great classical novels, Wu Ch'êng-ên's Voyage to the West was translated by Arthur Waley in abridged form as Monkey in 1942 and has delighted English readers ever since. It really is a riveting trip story about a priest's quest to obtain holy Buddhist scriptures for the Tang emperor; subscribing to him on this rollicking voyage: Sandy, Pigsy, and the mischievous monkey king, Sun Wukong, whose soaring cloud and special cudgel are never far from his infamous deeds. Waley's accessible rendition of Wu Ch'êng-ên's book has become a classic in its right: Gods, demons, and disobedient monkey spirits all stand out in this engaging work.
