General Note

General Note
Pearl S. Buck's translation of the 70-chapter version was originally published in 1933, and while well received by the American public, it was heavily criticised for its errors and inaccuracies.--Wikipedia.
Description
An English translation of the fourteenth-century Chinese novel about a band of robbers who flee society and take refuge on a great mountain where they form a community based on rigid laws of warfare, conduct, and courtesy.
Description
"This translation of a Chinese classic (14th Century) is the epic tale of a band of patriots in China during the latter part of Sung Dynasty and is considered by most to be one to the three or four greatest novels in Chinese literature. Shui hun chuan (water margin chronicles) is the adventure of a band of 108 outlaws (105 men and 3 women) struggling to help the Emperor rid himself of the despotic prime minister. Like Robin Hood, the bandit kings refer to themselves as the gallant fraternity. They come out to harass the authorities and to attempt to solicit followers to overthrow a corrupt government in the name of the Emperor. Chock-full of ghosts, innkeepers who make hamburgers of their guests, giants of superhuman strength, beautiful women in distress, wily intellectuals and crafty merchants, this is a timeless tale of love and adventure."--Publisher.
