Translated from:

Chinese

Description:

This is the fifth volume in a series of translations of a Chinese classical novel generally known as "The Water Margin". The action in this volume can be divided into three parts: the campaign against Tian Hu; the campaign against Wang Qing; and the campaign against Fang La.

Synopsis:

"The Scattered Flock," the last volume of this new series of translations, contains chapters 91-120 that mark the disastrous end of the 108 heroes. The action in this volume can be divided into three parts: the campaign against Tian Hu, the campaign against Wang Qing and the campaign against Fang La. It is in the last of these that the heroes of Mount Liang begin to die. Their demise is as haphazard and casual as the scattering of the flock of geese when the Prodigy shoots them for mere amusement. The themes of the vanity of human wishes and the emptiness of ambition are prominent throughout.
