As the audacious Monkey King battles his way through a landscape of inexplicable places and unfamiliar passions, Further Adventures on the Journey to the West offers a wry, revisionist critique of the late-Ming fascination with desire. Building on the great sixteenth-century novel Journey to the West, which recounts the escapades of a monk and three companions traveling to India in search of Buddhist scriptures to carry back to China, this sequel is a parable of self-delusion that explores the tension between desire and emptiness from a Buddhist perspective. The consummate literati novel, written by an accomplished artist for a well-educated readership, it is filled with allusions and parodies and features a dream-sequence narrative that is innovative and sophisticated even by modern standards. This new, fully annotated translation by two acclaimed scholars and translators brings to life this remarkably inventive, playful early modern text. The volume includes the original commentaries and illustrations, a critical introduction and afterword, and notes that highlight the sources of the novel’s intertextual references, revealing the author’s erudition and versatility.

A classic rediscovered: Further Adventures is Jon Stephen Fink’s wildly original, uproarious novel of superheroes and survival, now available for the first time in a briefer, tighter, “director’s cut.” A novel that presaged works like Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Further Adventures is the unforgettable story of one man’s half-blind but wholehearted attempt to right the wrongs of a society gone astray.

The short story collection "Further Adventures of Lad" was penned by American dog breeder and author Albert Payson Terhune. The novel, which was first published in 1922, follows the exploits of Rough Collie Lad, who served as the main character in Terhune's previous book, "Lad: A Dog." The narratives center on Lad's existence on the made-up Sunnybank estate and highlight his bravery, wit, and loyalty. Lad exhibits his steadfast loyalty to his owners through his interactions with humans and other animals. The stories frequently emphasise Lad's capacity to comprehend and react to a variety of circumstances, presenting him as a noble and heroic dog character. A collection of endearing and captivating tales that depict the relationship between people and animals are included in the book. Lad experiences a spectrum of feelings in his journeys, from happiness and fun to bravery and protectiveness. Terhune's stories are distinguished by his profound love for dogs and his conviction in their extraordinary abilities. "Further Adventures of Lad" celebrates the values of loyalty, friendship, and the enduring bond between people and their canine partners, adding to Lad's legacy as a popular literary dog character.

What do Postman Pat, Tommy Cooper, Norman Wisdom and George Best have in common with being abandoned in a Costa Rican jungle after a severe bout of flatulence? Indeed, how are they also connected to trying to buy an Australian brewery just to get a beer, owning twenty-two cars, an American soccer team and a Swiss mail-order pornography company? The common feature is of course a certain Richard Wakeman. The Further Adventures of a Grumpy Old Rock Star takes you, the privileged reader, on a trip of absurd excess, a cultural car crash of side-splitting hilarity and an unforgettable glimpse (again) into the life of one of Britain's most legendary showmen, rock stars and all-time great raconteurs.
