Journey
to the West (4-Volume Boxed Set)
Journey to the West is a classic Chinese mythological
novel. It was written during the Ming Dynasty based on
traditional folktales. Consisting of 100 chapters, this
fantasy relates the adventures of a Tang Dynasty
(618-907) priest Sanzang and his three disciples, Monkey,
Pig and Friar Sand, as they travel west in
search of Buddhist Sutra. The first seven chapters
recount the birth of the Monkey King and his rebellion
against Heaven. Then in chapters eight to twelve, we learn how Sanzang
was born and why he is searching for the scriptures, as well as
his preparations for the journey. The rest of the story describes
how they vanquish demons and monsters, tramp over the Fiery
Mountain, cross the Milky Way, and after
overcoming many dangers, finally arrive at their destination - the
Thunder Monastery in the Western Heaven - and find the Sutra.

of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal
(Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series)
Following such volumes as Baksheesh and Brahman,
The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, and Thou Art That, this

koans, Tantric yoga, and the Tibetan Book of
the Dead. A worthy companion to Campbell's Asian
journals, this volume conveys complex insights through warm,
accessible storytelling, revealing the intricacies and secrets of
his subjects with his typical enthusiasm.

Tale of Genji (Penguin Classics) [BOX SET]

stunning translation of Lady Murasaki's exquisite portrait of
courtly life in medieval Japan. Written in the eleventh century, The
Tale of Genji is widely celebrated as the world's first
novel, but as Donald Keene has observed, it is also "one of its
greatest." Genji the Shining Prince, the son of an emperor, is a
passionate character whose tempestuous nature, family
circumstances, love affairs, alliances, and shifting political
fortunes form the core of this magnificent epic. Throughout, The
Tale of Genji offers a lively and well-rounded glimpse of
golden age Japan with a cast of characters as richly conceived and
nuanced as those of Proust. Royall Tyler's superb translation...
