Three Kingdoms

This novel, written by Luo Guanzhong, tells the story of the tumultuous years towards the end of the Han dynasty and the subsequent division of China into the three kingdoms of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu. The narrative follows hundreds of characters, focusing on the military battles, intrigues, and struggles of these states over nearly a century.
