A sweeping account of the Three Kingdoms era

Attributed to Luo Guanzhong, this 14th-century historical novel spans the upheavals at the end of the Han dynasty and the period of the Three Kingdoms, from 169 to 280 AD. Its historical foundation is the Records of the Three Kingdoms, supplemented in the source description by later commentary and popular tales. The book brings that material into the form of a long, episodic historical narrative, tracing a period that ends with the reunification of the land under the Western Jin. Its scope connects dynastic change with the stories and traditions through which this era has been remembered in Chinese literature.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classical Chinese historical fiction and the Three Kingdoms period.
  • Readers exploring major works of Chinese literary tradition.
  • Readers seeking an extended historical narrative grounded in history and popular tales.
