Journey to the West Translations
Posted: 07 Jun 2015, 02:48
Hey guys. I've been wanting to read Journey to the West (the Chinese novel) for a while now, and I'm looking for a good translation that is unabridged (which obviously rules out Arthur Waley's Monkey). I've whittled it down to two translations - W. J. F. Jenner's 2003 edition and Anthony C. Yu's 2012 revised edition. Which of these would be best? I'm not a Chinese speaker btw.
Jenner: Type in "Journey to the West (Chinese Classics, Classic Novel in 4 Volumes)" on Amazon
Yu Revised: Type in "The Journey to the West, Revised Edition, Volume 1" on Amazon
