Summary

The Chinese Lord of the Rings.

The most popular series by the most successful Chinese author - a cultural monument translated into English for the first time.

China: 1200 A.D.

In the fourth and final volume of Legends of the Condor Heroes, the first novel in the Condor Trilogy, Guo Jing is at last forced to make a choice between loyalty to the land of his birth and keeping faith with Genghis Khan, who has been like a father to him. As the Mongol armies descend on China, Jin Yong brings this most beloved of his books to a thrilling conclusion, complete with vast battles, stirring heroism, heartbreak, triumph and loss.

This volume will be followed by the first volume in the second novel of the Condor Trilogy, Return of the Condor Heroes.

The series every Chinese reader has been enjoying for decades.

Critic reviews

"Jin Yong's work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of Harry Potter and Star Wars combined." (Nick Frisch, New Yorker)

"Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur. Prepare to be swept along." (Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail)

The enjoyable saga continues

I am extremeley happy that York Loh carries on narrating this super saga. His dulcet narrating and the lovely way he pronounces the names and concepts pulls me right in. As a learner of Mandarin Chinese it's doubly lovely to listen. The story is completely action-packed of course. The only problem is my disliking of the main character in this one...grandpa Yang would be appalled. Hope Hibiscus will hammer some sense into him at some point, because he is just obnoxious!!
