Chinese Classics: The Scholars
Date Added: 04/24/2021 by Peter Chew
The classic story of The Scholars as retold by Wang Guozhen is poorly translated with multiple sentences that either do not flow well or indeed do not even make sense. In addition there are spelling mistakes.
Having read many other Chinese classics such as Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, The Water Margin etc I was disappointed in this particular translation. I am sure other versions of this classic tale would have read better. Other reviews elsewhere comment on the slightly disjointed story so I was expecting that but not the typos etc....
