Description: THE WATER MARGIN (OUTLAWS OF THE MARSH) By SHI NAIAN Translation by J.H. JACKSON From Periplus Editions(HK)/Tuttle Publishing Considered one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature, The Water Margin is based upon the historical bandit Song Jiang and his group of rebels in the Chinese equivalent of Robin Hood and His Merry Men in the West. While Chinese in origin, the themes of this novel are so universal that it has served as a source of inspiration for numerous films, television series, and video games up to the present day.

In addition to authoring The Water Margin, he was also the teacher of Lo Kuan-chung, author of the classic Romance Of The Three Kingdoms. ________________________ Condition: this book is in very nice shape with a tight binding, clean pages, only minor dings and buffing on the cover, and except for a bookstore pricing in pencil upon the opening page (see last photo), this massive gem is in excellent condition.
