Description
Blurb:
Based on the 16th century Chinese fantasy adventure classic, Journey to the West (also the inspiration for Dragon Ball!) Katsuya Terada’s take on the legend of the Monkey King in a savage, lusty saga that The Portland Tribune calls "a Buddhist version of Conan the Barbarian." He raised holy hell as the baddest ape in Ancient China... until the Lord Buddha himself dropped a mountain on him! Now the Monkey King will get his parole with one condition - he must escort a Buddhist nun through the demon-haunted wastes of the Silk Road on an impossible quest: reach India and bring back a collection of sacred scrolls!

Testo della bandella:
Saiyuki o "il Viaggio in Occidente". Uno dei 4 grandi classici della letteratura cinese, tradotto in numerose lingue e con una serie di rielaborazioni non solo in campo letterario, ma anche in quei settori che riguardano i mezzi di comunicazione di massa come film, telefilm, videogiochi anime e manga. Molti sono stati, infatti, i mangaka che si sono cimentati nel riproporre le avventure di Son Goku. E' però l’opera di Katsuya Terada che probabilmente, più di tutte, riesce a recuperare il ruolo autenticamente anarchico e la sete di libertà assoluta dell’eroe del romanzo, riscoprendo i lati più dissacratori del Viaggio in Occidente.
