Long Description:
Though less ubiquitous in Western culture, the Journey to the West story is thought to be the widest-known cultural tale in the world. Many modern adaptations take their inspiration from the 16th-century novel, but the stories themselves date back nearly a thousand years earlier -- and were based on real events. We'll examine the historical and cultural context for the novel and the lore it collected, plus take a look at modern adaptations including cinematic blockbusters, McDonald's Happy Meal toys, video games, and even K-pop hits!
