书籍简介

这部关于兄弟情谊与竞争、忠诚与背叛、胜利与死亡的史诗是中国古典文化不可磨灭的核心，并继续吸引着现代读者。

公元 220 年，强大的汉朝结束了长达 400 年的统治，三个王国争夺对中国的控制权。汉朝皇位的合法继承人刘备选择为自己的继承权而战，并寻求他的结拜兄弟、冲动的巨人张飞和骑士关羽的帮助。这支勇敢的队伍面对着强大的敌人，其中主要的是奸诈嗜血的曹操。三位英雄的勇敢斗争似乎注定要失败，直到隐居的魔师楚科梁提出建议，形势开始扭转。

《三国演义》是中国古老的小说，也是伟大历史小说传统的第1部。据信，该小说由剧作家罗贯中于 14 世纪晚期编撰，其灵感来源于历史学家陈寿在公元 297 年去世前完成的巨著《三国志》。这部小说于 1522 年首次出版。此版本由 C. H. Brewitt-Taylor 于 20 世纪 20 年代中期翻译，基于 1670 年代出版的精简版。华盛顿大学中国文学与比较文学教授罗伯特·E·黑格尔为重印本撰写了导言，对这部小说的历史背景、文学起源和主要人物进行了深刻的评论。

This epic saga of brotherhood and rivalry, of loyalty and treachery, of victory and death, forms part of the indelible core of classical Chinese culture and continues to fascinate modern-day readers.

In 220 EC, the 400-year-old rule of the mighty Han dynasty came to an end and three kingdoms contested for control of China. Liu Pei, the legitimate heir to the Han throne, elects to fight for his birthright and enlists the aid of his sworn brothers, the impulsive giant Chang Fei and the invincible knight Kuan Yu. The brave band faces a formidable array of enemies, foremost among them the treacherous and bloodthirsty Ts'ao Ts'ao. The bold struggle of the three heroes seems doomed until the reclusive wizard Chuko Liang offers his counsel, and the tide begins to turn.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is China's oldest novel and the first of a great tradition of historical fiction. Believed to have been compiled by the play-wright Lo Kuan-chung in the late fourteenth century, it is indebted to the great San-kuo chi (Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms) completed by the historian Ch'en Shou just before his death in 297 CE. The novel first appeared in print in 1522. This edition, translated in the mid-1920s by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor, is based on a shortened and simplified version which appeared in the 1670s. An Introduction to this reprint by Robert E. Hegel, Professor of Chinese and Comparative Literature at Washington University, provides an insightful commentary on the historical background to the novel, its literary origins and its main characters.
