Synopsis:

Three Kingdoms: No. 1-4 The novel offers a startling and unsparing view of how power is wielded, how diplomacy is conducted, and how wars are planned and fought. This book has influenced the ways that Chinese think about power, diplomacy, and war, even to this day. Three Kingdoms portrays a fateful moment at the end of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.220) when the future of the Chinese empire lay in the balance. Full description

Review: "By the measure of sheer density of history and drama, all other historical novels suffer by comparison to THREE KINGDOMS, the great epic of the Chinese literary tradition. Roberts' rendition of the prose is lively and readable, but his translation of the poetry is a delight, capturing the flavour and pace, and sometimes even the rhyme, of the original."--"National Post(Canadian Daily)
