    Based on the historical bandit Song Jiang and his companions, this Chinese tale parallels the English classic of Robin Hood and His Merry Men, depicting an epic rebellion against tyranny that has captivated readers for centuries. This edition features a new preface and introduction by Edwin Lowe, who contextualizes the story for modern audiences and explores its history. The first English translation by Pearl S. Buck in 1933 titled All Men Are Brothers was followed by J.H. Jackson's translation, The Water Margin, in 1937. In this updated version, Lowe addresses the shortcomings of the original translation, restoring the grit and flavor of Shuihui Zhuan found in Chinese texts. He reintroduces elements such as sexual seduction, explicit brutality, and the raw voices of the lower classes during the Song Dynasty, which were sanitized in earlier translations. Additionally, the true names of Chinese deities, Bodhisattvas, gods, and demons are reinstated, along with the character of Ximen Qing. While rooted in Chinese culture, the themes of this narrative resonate universally, inspiring countless movies, television shows, and video games to this day.
