Part myth, part historical document, all bonkers.Exemplifying the Chinese love of reinventing their own history, this book is a kind of compendium of tales and legends, historical accounts of battles and gruesome details of murders and massacres (kids included), almost all within the lifetimes of a handful of central characters who you will grow to love, hate or become fascinated by - or at least, if you believe the depictions found in this book. Don't be disappointed when you discover how loosely it is based on facts, with many of the most fantastic and emotive stories widely believed to be little more than folktales, and some characters invented entirely. Despite that, the overall narrative of the rise and fall of whole dynasties is real and most of the events and people featured really did exist - though who they truly were, we may never know. Also real is the impact the book has had on Chinese culture and the Chinese people for almost a millenium, making it a fascinating study of how a nation reflects and projects its own image, and reinvents its heroes and villains for future generations.In short, well worth reading. If you can't handle history books you might struggle with some of the drier sections, but if you like gruesome tales you have only to skip forward a few pages to the next beheading or slaughter of an entire household to quench your appetites. Conversely, if you haven't the stomach for blood and guts, well, best of luck, as this book doesn't pull its punches. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lou Guanzhong - The Romance of The Three Kingdoms *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 March 2026* Great book. Delivery was prompt. This is an epic book to read and very timely. It is over 600 pages and I am savouring every page… ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This one is a shortened version *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 August 2020* It is good that it is a shortened version (one third of the original length). You did get the overall story but a lot of flavours are gone. So, you can’t fully immerse in the story. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Romance of the Three Kingdoms - The Water Margin: Outlaws of the Marsh: The Epic Tale of Brotherhood, Bravery and Rebellion in Imperial China - Dream of the Red Chamber --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/65899649-the-romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/65899649-the-romance-of-the-three-kingdoms-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
