Monkey King: Journey to the West by Wu Ch'eng-En

4.0

A timeless literary classic inspiring culture across multiple countries. Maybe it's fated that I finish it on the day of passing of one of the great artists, Akira Toriyama whose creation Dragon Ball z, is an indirect adaptation of this story with the protagonist Son Goku literally named after the hero Son Wukong (Monkey awakened by emptiness).

A work of literary brilliance whose author remained unknown for millennia and which has inspired millions of people spiritually, intellectually and politically.
