Monkey

Wu Ch'eng-en wrote "Monkey" in the middle of the 16th century, adding to an ancient Chinese legend his own touches of delicacy and humour. The result is a jumble of the absurd and the profound, of religion and history, of anti-bureaucratic satire and pure poetry.

Wu Ch'eng-en a scris ,,Maimuta" la mijlocul secolului al XVI-lea, adaugand unei legende chineze antice propriile sale atingeri de delicatete si umor. Rezultatul este un amestec de absurd si profund, de religie si istorie, de satira antibirocratica si poezie pura.
