A New Take on the Three Kingdoms

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (original work by Luo Guanzhong), retold in plain language by Shui Zhu Dou

The mighty Yangtze flows east, its waves washing away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure, all vanish in a moment. The green hills remain as ever, through countless sunsets.

White-haired fishermen and woodcutters on the riverbank have long watched autumn moons and spring breezes come and go. They are glad to meet over a pot of rough wine. How many affairs, past and present, are all reduced to laughter and conversation?

If you love the Three Kingdoms but find Romance of the Three Kingdoms hard to understand, this book offers an accessible introduction to the era.
