Das verborgene Monument: ›Die Drei Reiche‹ ist der legendäre, älteste Roman Chinas und ein einzigartiger Schlüssel zu seiner Kultur. Nun liegt er zum ersten Mal vollständig auf Deutsch vor: eine einzigartige Entdeckung, die Übersetzung eine sprachliche Meisterleistung. ›Die Drei Reiche‹ erzählt von der heroischen Epoche Chinas im 2. und 3. Jahrhundert. Das Reich war zerfallen, der Kaiser hilflos. Alle Macht gehörte Generälen, Eunuchen, intriganten Witwen, genialen Strategen und todesmutigen Helden. Erst hundert Jahre später, nach zahllosen Schlachten und Feldzügen von der Mongolei bis nach Vietnam, war das große Reich wieder geeint. Nie zuvor gab es eine vollständige Übersetzung der ›Drei Reiche‹ ins Deutsche. Die Sinologin Eva Schestag schließt endlich diese große Lücke in unserer Kenntnis über das Reich der Mitte – mit einer lebendigen, spannenden, begeisternden Übersetzung in einer umfassend annotierten Ausgabe – eine große Entdeckung. Immer wenn China sich selbst und seine Geschichte verstehen will, beugt es sich über die ›Drei Reiche‹. Monumentalfilme, Fernsehserien und Videospiele beziehen sich darauf. Diese Faszination eröffnet uns die gesamte Kultur Asiens.

"The Three Kingdoms is the epic saga of loyalty and treachery, brotherhood and rivalry--and the deeds of legendary heroes and villains during one of the most tumultuous periods in Chinese history. Considered the greatest of the "Four Great Classics" of Chinese literature, The Three Kingdoms is still read by millions in China and throughout Asia. In addition to being considered a great work of literature, many Chinese read it as a guide to success in life and business and many foreigners read it to better understand the core attributes that make up Chinese society. The story of the struggles of Liu Bei and his allies against the treacherous attempts of Cao Cao to steal away the throne as the Han Dynasty comes to a close have captivated readers for many centuries. This dynamic new translation will appeal as much to modern readers who find the twists and turns of Game of Thrones so compelling as the original did to its first readers over 500 years ago. This first volume introduces Liu Bei and his sworn brothers-in-arms Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, whose loyalty and fidelity are sorely tested in a society which is in flux and at war for its very survival"--

The novel vividly portrays the individuality of the historical characters, including Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Besides being a work of epic grandeur, its literary merit has had a great impact on China 's literature and art, and social life as well.Three Kingdoms was first published in the period which saw the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the rise of the Ming Dynasty.
