Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the longest and most complex novels in world literature, spanning decades of Chinese history during the fall of the Han Dynasty. The story follows the formation and rivalry of three kingdoms — Wei, Shu, and Wu — and the leaders, strategists, and warriors who shaped the era.
Various editions and translations divide the work differently. The three-volume English edition — The Sacred Oath, The Sleeping Dragon, and Welcome The Tiger — offers one accessible way to approach this sweeping historical epic.
