#THE LEGEND OF THE CONDOR HEROES SERIES#
It’s an unfortunate function of breaking the original series up into different volumes to fit the Western book market. The book is perfect for those who wants to read Historical, books. Because of this, sometimes one of the English translated versions will just end right in the middle of some action or leaving things that had been built up unresolved. The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a beautiful novel written by the famous author Jin Yong. It is that first book that is being translated into the three volumes covered here and the upcoming title later in the year. The first book in the original trilogy is The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The original series consists of three books made up of shorter books (hence that loose episodic feel). They aren’t shrinking violets or damsels in distress, they are quick witted and have superior kung-fu.

There are multiple female characters that are every bit the equal of their male counterparts (and in some cases superior). Women are well represented in these books also. In the world of the Condor Heroes there are clear heroes and clear villains. The series was first broadcast on KMTV-1 in China in July 2008. The series was produced by Chinese Entertainment Shanghai, and stars Hu Ge, Ariel Lin, Justin Yuan and Cecilia Liu. Modern audiences seeking more psychology, internalism, and grey area morality may need to adjust their expectations, but they too will soon be swept up in these grandiose emotions. The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a 2008 Chinese television series adapted from Louis Cha 's novel of the same title. This a classic story that works in the framework of themes and ideas like honor, love, loyalty, revenge, destiny. The structure of the series is episodic so the whole thing has a loose feeling. There is a ton of action as these different factions cross paths and square off.

The world of Legend of the Condor Heroes is populated with colorful characters who are kung-fu masters and disciples from competing schools. Bits and pieces of these books have shown up in so many other things (fighting on treetops, string instruments battles or used as weapons, focusing and channeling of internal forces) that there is an air of familiarity that makes for an easy on-ramp to the story. That doesn’t even factor in his other successful books and series. It’s estimated that they have sold nearly a billion copies. The Legend of the Condor Heroes books are hugely successful and influential.
