World Literature series #7: Journey to the West

Next up in the World Lit series from Annenberg Learner is the Chinese novel called Journey to the West written by Wu Cheng'en in the 16th century. It begins with the story of a monkey named Sun Wukong (or simply Monkey), but the main story deals with the Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his pilgrimage to India.

Click on the illustration of Monkey below to watch the excellent video about Journey to the West at learner.org. At their site you can also read excerpts from the novel and explore a map, timeline, and slideshow about it.
