"Racconto del viaggio in occidente" è un classico della letteratura cinese, appartenente al gruppo dei quattro grandi romanzi classici. Sulla cima di una montagna sacra, un magico uovo di pietra si schiude e dà alla luce uno scimmiotto astuto, veloce, indicibilmente forte e del tutto irrispettoso delle gerarchie. Per questa ragione, l'imperatore Celeste tenta di imbrigliarlo, prima con le lusinghe, poi con la forza. Ma Son Goku non ha bisogno di catene, bensì di una guida, ed è per questo che il monaco errante Sanzo Hoshi lo porta con sé in una grande avventura attraverso l'Oriente misterioso, che metterà alla prova il suo spirito indomito. Armato di un Bastone Magico e in sella alla sua Nuvola d'Oro volante, Son Goku affronta mille sfide insieme ai suoi compagni di viaggio, il maiale trasformista Cho Hakkai e lo spirito acquatico Sa Gojo.

This classic Chinese epic features a new introduction by Daniel Kane, Head of Chinese Studies at Macquarie University. The story follows the Monkey King, detailing his incredible origin, downfall, and epic quest for redemption alongside his trusted companions. Together, they confront fantastic foes, demons, and monsters on their journey to the Western paradise. The talented and cunning Monkey King, who craves unimaginable strength, eternal life, and a place among the gods, revels in mischief and rule-breaking, believing himself to be the most powerful being. However, after facing defeat and punishment, he discovers a desire for qualities he never anticipated: the ability to be good and the discipline to assist the monk Xuanzang in his mission to bring Buddhist Scriptures—and enlightenment—to China. Timothy Richard's retelling of the Monkey King's adventures is thrilling, as readers are swept along through encounters in the Dragon King's underwater castle, the Halls of the Dead, and Buddha's palace. They will be captivated by the Monkey King's journey alongside Xuanzang, the Dragon Horse, Monk Sand, and the mischievous Pig on their perilous trek West.

Opičí král byl před půl stoletím ztvárněn českým umělcem Zdeňkem Sklenářem, jehož ilustrace vznikaly od konce padesátých do počátku šedesátých let. Kniha obsahuje osmdesát černobílých ilustrací na začátku a na konci každé kapitoly a dvacet čtyři celostránkových barevných ilustrací. Černobílé ilustrace sledují děj, zatímco barevné uměleckým způsobem převyprávějí text. Sklenář vyvinul složitou techniku s různými malířskými postupy a barvami, aby vystihl atmosféru příběhu. Často rozděloval prostor na části, aby vyjádřil kontrast mezi obsahem a jeho uměleckým ztvárněním. Putováním na Západ, jeden z nejznámějších čínských klasických románů, vypráví příběh o Sun Wukongovi, který chrání mnicha Tripitaku na cestě do Západního ráje pro posvátné sútry, přičemž čelí mnoha nebezpečím. Autor Wu Chengen z období dynastie Ming vytvořil postavu Opičího krále, která je Číňanům dobře známá. Sklenář dal této postavě novou tvář, a kniha byla vydána v několika jazycích. V době konání EXPO Shanghai se Sklenářův Opičí král vrací do Číny, což je radostná událost pro fanoušky této postavy v Číně i v České republice.
