For fans of SHOGUN (and from the publisher of the bestseller WICKED by Gregory Maguire) comes another iconic story inspired by a real-life world-famous hero, LORD GUAN, the honorable warrior who tried to restore the Han dynasty in second-century China. His military maneuvers, warrior brotherhood, and an unexpected romance with a brilliant escaped concubine have inspired millions of people for generations. Lord Guan (also known as Guan-Yu) has been the subject of television, films, operas, and video games worldwide. Dozens of temples have been built to pay homage to him worldwide. He is known as the God of Good Fortune and also represents honor, courage and loyalty. This historical tale is now fully imagined in a dramatic and modern retelling and is being developed as a rap musical that will inspire readers of all generations for years to come.
Guan Yu (160 - 220 A.D.), also known as Guan Gong (Lord Guan), has been celebrated as a pan-Asiatic hero for well over a thousand years. He has been repeatedly canonized and deified across Asia.
This historically detailed novel tells the story of his humble beginnings in a rural setting, his unexpected journey into martial arts, the murder of his family members, his unexpected love story, and his emergence as an invincible warrior. It follows his dedication to restoring the great Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D.) during a tumultuous and war-torn period in Chinese history.
At the outset of his mission, he forms a brotherhood with two equally idealistic supporters of the Han Dynasty. Together, the three men, known as the Peach Garden Brothers, become the backbone of a military force competing against warlords for control of the declining Han Empire.
Throughout the years of conflict, Lord Guan encounters Xian-Hui, a talented and educated beauty kidnapped by eunuchs from the Imperial Palace who is forced to serve as a concubine. With great courage, she escapes her bondage and unexpectedly meets Lord Guan during her frightening getaway.
Lord Guan ultimately sacrifices his life for his mission. Although he did not succeed in restoring the Han Dynasty, his legendary exploits have become an integral part of Chinese folklore. He has endured in the hearts and minds of millions throughout history as a symbol of courage, integrity, and loyalty.
This novel dramatically retells this enchanting true-life story, enriched with informative historical details. Lord Guan's adventures were first romanticized in the classic epic of Chinese literature, the 14th-century novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Charles Li's "Lord Guan" is a modern and dramatic retelling of this historically significant tale.
Lord Guan's character has been commemorated through the centuries in thousands of shrines across Asia and in various media, including opera, film, art, literature, and video games.
This novel highlights his journey and tells the story of the making of a timeless hero who symbolizes courage, honor, loyalty and integrityvalues that will have broad appeal to readers of all ages during this challenging time.
