Jin Yong

A new and revised 8-volume edition of The Proud Smiling Wanderer by Jin Yong. The author's most famous book. The story is different from most of his other books in the way this story has no specific historic background, but an in depth portrayal of human nature with its anti-traditional themes.

《笑傲江湖》是對一般武俠小說所描寫的武林世界表現出明顯質疑的作品，這部小說從根本上解構了江湖神話，書中的江湖∕武林世界，充滿了權力紛爭，充斥著各種謀略、殺戮和血腥，不再是人們想像或夢幻中理想的神聖浪漫天地，書裡所有的人和事，無不與權力鬥爭有關。這部小說沒有歷史背景，在一連串的曲折和奸謀之中，解決了正與邪的真正意義。

8冊不分售:

笑傲江湖1：奮身救人
笑傲江湖2：獨孤九劍

In the Immortal Realm:

Song Qingshi praised from the bottom of his heart: “My patient is the kindest and most beautiful little angel in the world.”

Yue Wuhuan quietly washed the blood from his hands and smiled softly: “En.”

Song Qingshi swore from the bottom of his heart: “As a doctor, I will never covet nor take advantage of my beautiful patient!”

Yue Wuhuan took full and complete advantage of the doctor and smiled softly: “En.”

Song Qingshi affirmed from the bottom of his heart: “Under my loving care, the patient will never be blackened!”

Yue Wuhuan secretly hid his monstrously evil thoughts and smiled softly: “En.”

At that inextinguishable summit, upon thousand and thousands of soul lamps, he sat on the god’s throne of white bone, guarding that piece of stone.

“You are the only one in this world who treats me tenderly.”
