Beschrijving
The most popular series by the most successful Chinese author is presented here in English for the first time. Described as a cultural monument, this epic fantasy has sold an astonishing 300 million copies and has been recognized as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Fantasy Novels of All Time. The reception in the Chinese-speaking world has been likened to the cultural impact of Harry Potter and Star Wars, underscoring its enduring influence and appeal.
Set in 1200 A.D. during the Song Empire, the story follows Guo Jing, son of a murdered patriot, who grows up alongside Genghis Khan’s army. He is humble and loyal, yet destined to face an opponent who embodies privilege, cunning, and flawless martial prowess. Under the guidance of his shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China—specifically the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing—to fulfill his destiny. In a land torn by war and betrayal, his courage and loyalties will be tested at every turn, as he confronts the challenges that lie ahead.
Translated from Chinese by Anna Holmwood, this edition comprises 416 pages and is published in paperback by Quercus Books, with a release date noted as 28/03/2024. The work combines epic grandeur with humor and a fairy-tale feel, inviting readers to be swept along with its saga of heroism and identity.
