Records of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 3
Records of the Three Kingdoms (三國志)
Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms is the sober history behind the most famous saga of Chinese literature: the fall of Han and the long war between Cao Cao's Wei, Liu Bei's Shu and the Sun family's Wu, written within living memory of the events. This third volume finishes the Book of Shu and gives the whole Book of Wu: Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and the men who held the Yangzi. This complete new English translation is published in three volumes; this is Volume 3 of 3, and the whole set is also available as a bundle. Each volume stands on its own, and the three together give the complete history of Wei, Shu and Wu. Names are given in modern pinyin, offices and titles are rendered plainly, and the narrative runs as continuous English prose, so the book can be read straight through by anyone curious about China's past, not only by specialists.
