The empire, long divided, must
unite;long united, must divide. Thus it hasever been." With this
characterization of theinevitable cycle of Chinese history,
themonumental tale Three Kingdoms begins. Asimportant for Chinese
culture as the Homericepics have been for the West, this
Mingdynasty masterpiece continues to be read andloved throughout
China as well as in Japan,Korea, and Vietnam. The novel offers
astartling and unsparing view of how power iswielded, how diplomacy
is conducted, andhow wars are planned and fought; it hasinfluenced
the ways that Chinese think aboutpower, diplomacy, and war even to
this day. Three Kingdoms portrays a fateful momentat the end of the
Han dynasty （206 B.C.-A.D.220） when the future of the Chinese
empirelay in the balance. Writing more than amillennium later, Luo
Guanzhong drew onoften-told tales of this turbulent period
tofashion a sophisticated, compelling narrative,whose characters
display vivid individualityand epic grandeur.

After skimming and leafing through the entire book, especially upon perusing and reading in-depth the afterwords and some notes written by the translator himself, I am deeply impressed and moved by his broadness and depth in understanding Chinese traditional culture and civilization in general and history and evolution of Three Kingdoms in particular, with which even a current Chinese cannot fail to compare. His seriousnes and sceintific spirits embodied in his lengthy yet interesting analysis revealed that he had been wholely immersed in this masterpiece of world literature. Again, really fas...cinating a book, both as original Chinese and translated English version. 阅读更多 ›
纸质好，清晰，包装好无破损，字迹清楚，送外国朋友很有面子。
三国演义的英文版我还未来得及看，原著我也只是看了一半。不过，我觉得外文出版社的出版质量要是再精良一些，或许我就满意了。
印刷好，字体有点偏小，有几页下角破损，整体不错。
书比想象的要厚，感觉很有中国历史名著的FEEL。还没看，不知道内容是否和原著一样精彩。
