It recounts a Tangdynasty monks quest for Buddhist scriptures, accompanied by an omnitalented kungfu Monkey King called Sun Wukong a riceloving divine pig and a depressive maneating riversand monster.Comparable to The Canterbury Tales or Don Quixote, the tale is at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a spring of spiritual insight and an extended allegory in which the group of pilgrims journeys towards enlightenment.
