The first complete English translation of one of China's most beloved military epics.
For five centuries, Chinese readers have thrilled to the saga of the Yang family - a dynasty of warriors whose loyalty, sacrifice, and martial prowess became legendary during the turbulent wars between the Song Dynasty and the Khitan Liao.
At the heart of this epic stands Yang Ye, the patriarch whose seven sons ride into battle against overwhelming odds. From the treacherous politics of the imperial court to desperate last stands on frozen northern battlefields, Romance of the Yang Family weaves together historical fact and heroic legend into an unforgettable tapestry of honor, betrayal, and undying devotion to family and country.
Written by Xiong Damu during the Ming Dynasty (16th century), this novel shaped Chinese popular culture for generations, inspiring countless operas, films, and television dramas. Yet until now, no complete English translation has existed.
This edition presents the full text in accessible modern English, with scholarly introduction, historical notes, and character guide - opening the gates of this martial classic to Western readers for the first time.
