Chinese Literature: English version of 'Legends of Condor Heroes I' published
[]
The English version of 'Legends of Condor Heroes Volume One', has been published for the first time ever. The book written by Chinese martial arts novelist Jin Yong, has long been a major hit in China. He's one of the best-selling authors in the Chinese-speaking world, with more than 300 million copies of his works being sold. Despite their popularity, only a few have been translated into English. But this all changed after British publishing house MacLehose, bought the rights to 'Legends of Condor Heroes Volume One' five years ago, with the martial-arts mega-hit now on sale in the UK. 'A Hero Born', the first volume of Legends of Condor Heroes, covers the Song Dynasty and features hundreds of characters.
