About This Book

"Three Kingdoms tells the story of the fateful last reign of the Han dynasty (206 B.C. - A.D. 220), when the Chinese empire was divided into three warring kingdoms. Writing some twelve hundred years later, the Ming author Luo Guanzhong drew on histories, dramas, and poems portraying the crisis to fashion a sophisticated, compelling narrative that has become the Chinese national epic."--Page 2 of cover.
