Review: It's a decent edition, it has a good translation tho is not the FULL history. It isn't complete, just takes the key moments of the original: for that porpouse is good. Pra lusofonos: Boa tradução, não é a melhor. História meio resumida e a qualidade é a da Penguin, boa diagramação mas o material da capa é um lixo, não parece feito pra durar infelizmente.
Review: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," attributed to Luo Guanzhong, is a towering classic of Chinese literature that masterfully weaves historical fact with legend. Set during the turbulent era following the collapse of the Han Dynasty, it chronicles the power struggles among the Wei, Shu, and Wu kingdoms. The novel excels in its rich tapestry of characters. Heroes like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhuge Liang are depicted with a depth that makes their virtues and flaws both grand and relatable. Conversely, the cunning and ruthless Cao Cao provides a compelling, multifaceted antagonist, making the reader question the nature of heroism and villainy. Luo's narrative is imbued with themes of loyalty, strategy, and the fleeting nature of power, echoing the complexities of human nature and governance. The intricate battle strategies and political maneuvers are not only thrilling but also educational, revealing ancient Chinese military and philosophical wisdom. The prose, while dense and occasionally meandering, is often poetic and profound, offering moments of introspection amidst the chaos of war. The episodic structure allows for varied pacing, with intense battles interspersed with reflective dialogues and poignant moments of camaraderie. However, modern readers might find the text's length and the multitude of characters daunting. Additionally, the translation quality can significantly affect accessibility and enjoyment, with some versions preserving the beauty of the original language better than others. Overall, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a monumental work that captures the essence of a pivotal period in Chinese history. Its blend of history, myth, and moral complexity makes it a must-read for those interested in epic storytelling and the enduring lessons of the past.

Ce livre me tombe des mains, personnages et événements sans linéarité. Présenté comme une pierre d'angle de la littérature et de l'histoire de la Chine... très usurpé
